I was picking tomatoes out of my garden the other day and was wondering if I could have planted my garden differently.   I had planted 36 tomato plants in a row like this:

     T  T  T  T  T  T  T  T  T  T  T  T  T  T  T  T  T  T  T  T  T  T  T  T  T  T  T  T  T  T  T  T  T  T  T  T

What other ways can I plant my garden next year if I plan on 36 tomato plants again and I want to keep my garden in the shape of a rectangle or square.
