6 plants provide enough fruit for a family of 4 to use fresh, and preserve{{SSN}}.  Planting early, mid and late season varieties will ensure tomatoes throughout the season.  Grow in sunny spot with good drainage.  Soil should be neutral to a little acid{{SSN}}, if it's very acid add some sulfur, or if it's very alkaline add lime before planting.  Staked and trained plants can be planted 1½ - 3 feet apart, while unstaked/trained plants should be planted 3-4 feet apart.  Plant the seedlings deep, up to the first leaves, as they will form additional roots on the buried stem, giving them a healthier root system.
