This year I prepped the 7'X33' giant tomato bed with about 6" of additional organic matter. I put in 24 plants in 2 rows, spaced about 3' apart. Here is the lineup:
Delicious (6.51 Meisner 2011)
Big Zac (4.57 MacCoy 2013)(5.07 Boudyo 2010)
Domingo (4.55 Wahl 2008)
Big Zac (3.486 DT 2008)
Church (3.208 DT 2008)
MegaMarv (4.23 Wahl 2008)
Brutus Magnum (2.006 DT 2012)
Delicious (4.78 Lorson 2008)
Michael's Portuguese Monster (2.610 DT 2008)
Rebecca Sebastian's Bull Bag (2.200 DT 2010)
Russian (2.319 DT 2010)
Big Zac (3.75 Catapano 2007)
Big Zac (5.50 Johnston/Butler 2012)
MegaMarv (2.678 DT 2012)
Omar's Lebanese (1.724 DT 2010)
Big Zac (_ Johnson 2013)(7.18 Harp 2010)
Belmonte (1.824 DT 2010)
Leadbeatter's Lunker (4.905 Leadbeatter 2012)
Rhode Island Giant (1.934 DT 2013)
Church (1.662 DT 2010)(4.48 Perry 2010)
Polish Giant Beefsteak (2.222 DT 2013)
Epstein's Potato Leaf (_ Johnson 2012)(derived from Big Zac)
Sumo (1.782 DT 2012)
Chilo della Garfagnana (3.375 Koshykar 2008)
These will be grown in the more traditional, upright manner. I don't anticipate having the time to devote to burying stems. Kinda sad, I guess, but this is why I'm not growing any giant pumpkins this year - just too time consuming. And I've scaled back on tomato production too, "only" about 900 plants of 501 varieties.
Picture is from transplanting day, May 22nd.
