Had 50 and had to get down to 14 but got down to 15 so I gave away 35 to about 7 people. I hope they grow good was a mix of OP and hybrids.

several dozen, all indeterminate, heirlooms w/exception of sungold and sweet 100

A whole lot, maybe 100 or better, most were volunteers.

about 35. They weren't really given away so much as 'loaned'. I gave them to a friend that I get together with and make salsa and other stuff with. He grows them at his property, I grow them at mine and then we spend a day or three drinking beer canning/preserving/making recipes etc.

About 65 went to a plant sale to benefit the scholarship fund for staff at a retirement center.

6 to my next-door neighbors (who used to live in my house and sometimes started tomatoes in the basement as I did this year).

And there are 5 left to find a home for.

atleast 30, just started more then i could plant.... most were OP indeterminates

About 300.....to people who grow food for various food banks. I'm growing more for the fall. Also peppers were grown in the spring and eggplant too. Fall planting will keep me busy too.

Let's just say I like growing from seed and have a big light system.

Had 35 make it to planting out size, planted 15 w/ a sungold that I bought. Gave away 21 heirloom ind and 2 mucho nacho jals.

7 so far but probably will give away 21 remaining this weekend as I already have way too many

About 50. 30 to an inner city gardening club at an elementary school in Oakland, and a few to friends.
I gave my bother 10. He lives 5 houses down the road so I get to go over and check out my...ok his plants

mmm...beer...good plan, justaguy. :)

I probably gave away about 15 mater plants this year. I usually try to only start, from seed, just enough for me to grow. This year I had an extremely good germination rate though & just couldn't let those babies go to waste.

I gave away about 50 this year. I only planted 36 to plant for myself but didn't have one start that didn't come up this year. My neighbors are happy! Last year they asked for my secrets in growing since the plants they had only produced a few tomatoes for the year and mine were producing a few a day each - cherries a lot more of course. Do you think I should tell them it's the soil, not the plants?

I'd say I gave away about 50 total plants as well. A mix of tomatoes, sweet peppers, hot peppers, and eggplants.

I also have a decent indoor set up now, and had lots of relatives interested in my left overs (thankfully!).

About 125 and only a few to a good cause...unless I receive some fabulous seeds (or beer or wine), the good cause number will increase and the moochers number will decrease next year..

macheske - it's prolly both - good plants AND good soil...I neglected some starts and they are now failing to thrive.

I gave away around 35 plants to friends and relatives. I gave away quite a few pepper, Brussels sprouts, broccoli and cauliflower plants too.

Let's see....I gave 6 to my mom, 4 to my sister, 4 to my sons girlfriend, and 1 to my next door neighbor....then around 10 to the guy my hubby works with. So that is- 25ish. Then I found a big patch of volunteers and gave another 8 to my mom, so that is 33. Now I just need to find homes for a clump of about 40 volunteers and 8 or 9 more starts.

This makes it a stellar season for me so far, as every single plant in my garden is from seeds I started myself :)

ok , thats a lie, my sons GF had a class that started some seeds and she gifted me with 2 cukes and 2 marigolds. But since she is such a sweetie I count them as my own.

Donna :)
Hoping that the rest of the season is as good!

Counting the UPS guy, the maintenance workers who bring me the BIG 8 gallon buckets from the pool chemicals, the painting contractor who brings me 5 gallon buckets, the community center management, and anyone who asks ahead of time, about 350 tomatoes and peppers were given away this year.

I started 120 plants and have 40 in the garden and 4 on the deck, so that's, um, uh, 76? Yeah, 76. To neighbors, friends and my wife's clients. All heirlooms and some good ones- like Goose Creek, Indian Stripe and Lucky Cross. Those people aren't going to know what hit them.

About 125 heirlooms. Twelve varieties. Planted 15 in my raised beds. Nice short, thick trunked plants that are going for about $3.50 each in the big box stores. Hope the recipients realize the value they are getting in their gift plants. I still can't believe this year's prices.
