Transplanted Tomatoes

All my tomatoes are now transplanted!  Yea!!  I have 137 plants now - wow!  My book "Tomato Handbook" says to have 15 plants per person if they will be used for a year's supply of tomato sauce, catsup and such.  So I have planned on having them in our greenhouse (when we get the polycarbonate cut and installed) which will hold 9.  I also have dedicated one of our raised beds for the tomatoes - 16' by 3' - so I have to figure out how many it will hold.  I will be adding a clear plastic cover to all the raised beds.  I think I will plant some of the cherry tomatoes in hanging pots too.  So I haven't figured out exactly how many plants we have room for and how many plants I have extra and can be sold.

Here are the varieties I planted and how many I have of each:
Roma x 54
Red Cherry x 28
Siletz x 16
Siberia x 29
Stupice x 10

I took some pictures today of my plant starting shelf - I had to adjust some of the shelves to allow more room for the tomatoes to get big!

Here were the tomatoes before I began transplanting:
