I planted the first tomatoes today. I managed to squeeze in 10 plants per bed. They may be a bit close together, but let's hope for the best. (I always plant them a bit close together, it seems to have become a spring ritual, I'm afraid.)
There are stardroppers at either end of the beds, plus one in the middle. Later in the season, when the plants grow bigger, I'll use some twine to weave it around them - called 'Florida Weave' - and that tucks them in nicely.
There are still quite a few plants left to be planted, but one day at a time! How are you going with your spring planting? :)

Well done, 10 per bed wouldn't work here, too humid.
I've planted loads and loads of different tomato seeds this year and already my beds are full with self seeded ones.
Not sure where I'm going to put my Romas, Amish Paste, Jaune Flamme, Tropic.................
I'm sure I'll find some forgotten corner.
Greenfumb, you are right. The humidity would be a big problem. But our dry, hot summers allow for closer planting.
There is always room for more tomatoes. Even though it looks all totally full. Trust me! I do it every year. *LOL*
No spring planting here :-)
Sue, but you are busy harvesting gorgeous produce from your garden! :)
