Shower thought: I counted my tomato plants this morning and hit 47

Forty seven plants in my 20x30 backyard garden. That's way more than I thought I had, and I'm starting to wonder if I have a problem or just a really good harvest coming. Anyone else lose track of how many plants they've stuffed into their plot?

My buddy Gary once told me he stopped counting his pepper plants when he hit 52. He lived in a row house with a tiny concrete yard. Ended up growing them in buckets on his porch and even on his fire escape. His landlord showed up for an inspection and just stood there staring for a good ten seconds before asking if he was running a nursery out of the apartment.

Lost count at 35 myself, then my neighbor casually asked if I was starting a tomato farm.
