Around 200 tomato plants, 75 in the greenhouse, the rest outside.
From my perspective gardening is about constantly being behind and gracefully accepting some losses. I'm very lucky: I work remotely for a company 6 time zones away, so I get to work in the garden before starting work at 3pm. On top of that while I do the literal heavy lifting in the garden my wife is actually putting more time in than me. Despite all that and liberal use of weed barrier and some raised beds we are at best getting close to not being very behind on garden work. Turning half an acre of a meadow into a veggie garden wasn't just ambitious, it was borderline insane ;-)
