18 tomato plants for 2 people or is your family larger?
Will just be me and my wife.
Do you make tomato sauce from most of those? I love fresh tomatoes. What are the percentages of what you do with that many maters?
Can you freeze any? Can the most of them?

Just me and the ball and chain but I can tomatoes for sauces, stews etc, pickles, peppers etc. to last to next year. Freeze beans, squash etc to eat in the winter. Dry or freeze fresh herbs to use year round. People love the stuff as a birthday gift or just to show appreciation for anything they've done to help you. Hot peppers are my thing and I experiment with different recipes and ways to preserve. Gonna try a coupla fermented pepper recipes this year.

Just shout out... 
Nice healthy hobby, really costs more than just buying from the store but it tastes better and it's rewarding to "grow your own"

Freezing tomatoes is easy. I fill a sink with cold tap water. Boil water on stove. Dip several tomatoes in the boiling water for about 20 seconds. Remove, then dunk them in the cold water for a minute. The skin will peel off easily.
I then slice the peeled tomatoes about 1/2" thick and place about a dozen slices in a freezer bag and place them in the freezer. When I want a pot of veggie soup or chili on a cold winter night I just thaw out a bag and put them in the soup/chili pot.

Will you be growing any GA watermelons?
Have you grown okra?
If so, how well dos it grow in GA?

Okra grows fantastic in GA.
Watermelon is a crap shoot for me.
Sweet potatoes and pink eye peas (same as black eye but pink) grow great with very little hassle and grooming, will grow like weeds. In case you are looking for easy shite to grow here.
My doomsday plan is pink eye peas and sweet potatoes. Effortless.

dallas,
As to your peppers.
Your bigger ones look like banana peppers but are they hot? Some banana peppers are mild and some are hot indeed so unsure if it is different sub species or just luck of the draw.
What kind are your smaller peppers? Also does growing hot peppers help keep animals / bugs from consuming other stuff in your garden?
