I was looking at my tomato plants today, and trying to work out how many I could fit into my 8 by 6 greenhouse. Bearing in mind they will be planted in 12in pots, and I need space for 2 cucumber plants, what are your thoughts on the matter? I can remove all the shelving, so assume all the floor space is available.
Originally I planned on 8, but I have 5 varieties, tigerella (10ish
), sunrise (3), costalou (5,sp?, its a beefsteak I think), pigletwillie's french black (2) and seahorse's green tiger (2). These are the ones that have been in my greenhouse for 2 weeks, but they are not all in their final pots.
I also have 3 more baby sunrise because they are DD's favourite, and she said I hadn't grown enough plants, and 3 green tiger, because I thought the cats had killed the other 2, but they recovered.
Those that do not make it into the hallowed area will have to slum it outside (risk of blight) or be given up for adoption.
Thoughts and opinions welcome
, and no I can't fit in another greenhouse or put in another floor

The shelves work well as staging in the early part of the season, then they get shifted outside to do duty later on
