I am just going to try about 15 plants.
Good luck. It is great to have tomatoes after everyone else has given up on growing them. Of course don't expect spring like crops of fruit. During the hottest weather it is sometimes really disappointing looking at the poor fruit set after having such heavy fruit set earlier in the year. Once the cooler nights arrive fruit set will pick up but ripening will slow down to a crawl so make sure you mulch them heavily to keep the ground cool under them and feed them TTF every week or so. If you see the first sign of spider mites treat them immediately and repeatedly until they are stopped.
