We've got a quite small circular planter, so we plant three starts only....this year we've got Cherry, Early Girl, and Roma.
Wifey always wants a Roma because she makes her own tomato juice. In the last couple of years, she's whooped up as much as eight or nine quarts from no more than three plants.
PS - we stopped that tomato cage silliness three years ago - “Free Range” gives us four or five times the volume of fruit!
I am hoping to get a sufficient crop to try to can some tomatoes as well as tomato juice one of these years. When I think Roma, I always think tomato paste which I never use.
I’ll have to rethink that now that you have talked about juice from Romas.LOL
