Square Foot Gardening – Tomatoes

March 9, 20100

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!
