OT, but everyone here is quite opinionated so,
I have a 4 x 6 matrix of spaces to plant 2 varieties of tomato plants with somewhat varying exposure to full vs almost full sun. What pattern is best, checkerboard, or alternate rows/columns?

Obviously staggered rows/hexagon pattern to make best use of space.
of space.
I have 24 spaces, in an e-w and n-s orientation. Spaces are fixed. I have 12 plants of one variety, and 12 plants of a second variety. I just wanted to know about which plants to plant where, to maximize tomato production. Cluster all of one type together, or plant checkerboard, or alternate rows. Today I planted all 24 plants in a checkerboard pattern.
