How Much to Plant

Plus there are several links in this discussion here.

I used to use this link - what to plant for a family of 4 - from Hume Seeds. But to be perfectly honest, I've found that it doesn't really suit my families eating habits. Only 10-15 tomatoe plants? But a 60' row of beets? I've had more luck with tial and error and just guessing.

Here is a link that might be useful: What to plant for a family of 4

Thanks - I've already figured out that if 4lbs of tomatoes is 8C, in order to have 2 pints of salsa and 2 quarts of pasta sauce for a year (rounded up), I need 300 lbs of tomatoes. I've seen different yield numbers for Pink Brandywines, and I haven't even looked at other varieties I have started. Brandywines seem to vary greatly in yield - is 10 lbs/plant reasonable? I also started Speckled Roman paste tomatoes, some early Glaciers (just for market/early fresh eating), Gardener's Delight cherry toms I(again fresh eating), Cherokee Purple and German Johnson (good slicing tomatoes but I used them for canning last year too - was using whatever I could lay my hands on!).

I just dropped off $125 check to the market master so I hope we have veggies and berries to sell this year!
