Some are single plants and some are two. We grow around forty, maybe a little more, each year. All are from saved seed. I have been gifted seed from folks who have shared packets from seed companies over the years so the varieties are as true as they get. One friend had access to the end of the year Botanical Interest carousel in a local market. The only seed I've ever ditched is Black Prince. A really watery, seedy tomato and tasteless tomato IMO.

The photo below shows eighteen tomatoes, nine each on the left and right. There are two other designated spots that can grow up to eighteen each.
