Square Foot Gardening – Tomatoes
Today I planted my Tomato seedlings in a 4×4 foot raised bed. I planted them one plant per square foot.
I know that is far to crowded for these plants to be healthy in humid Central Florida, but I do plan on thinning them out once they start to grow vigorously.
I planted 8 Roma (determinate) and 4 Brandywine (indeterminate) with the plan of thinning both down to half.
I also planted 4 black beauty eggplants as well!

I was just wondering if you can successfully plant tomatoes this close together in drier climates, like central CA?

You sure can… I have mine pretty close together here in Central Florida where it is humid. You just have to watch to make sure that there is plenty of air flow between plants!

Do you ever have a problem with Leaf Miners? Every year they decimate my tomato plant leaves and I haven’t figured out how to get them under control.

@Kelly,
I have not had any problems with them as of yet!
