Here is the list and layout of the tomato garden this year. I started planting last night in an unusual burst of after-dinner energy and finished up this morning. I enriched the soil around each of the plants with a mixture of MooNure and mushroom compost. I added more on the South and West sides of the patch as those are away from the old compost pile and tomatoes did the worst there the past two years.
