Yes you can have too many tomatoes. LOL. Last year put up 3-4 bushels and that was way more than what we ended up using.
I'm thinking I need to make some of those crates.

Not for me, as I said any excess past chunky sauce and regular sauce would go into juice for breakfast. Orange juice doesn't agree with me so tomato it is.

I used to rotate string beans, pod peas, and corn - and I planted pest eliminators like marigolds in with them.Rotating Vegetable Families
Susceptibility to pests and diseases runs in plant families. Leave at least two, and preferably three or more, years between the times you plant members of the same crop family in an area of your garden. When planning a rotation scheme, refer to this rundown of the seven family groups most often planted in vegetable gardens along with ideas for rotating them.
Onions, garlic:
Rotate with legumes; avoid planting in soil with undecomposed organic matter.
Carrots, parsnips, parsley, dill, fennel, coriander:
Moderate feeders. Precede with any other plant family; condition soil with compost before planting. Follow with legumes or heavy mulch.
Broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, kohlrabi, radishes, turnips:
High level of soil maintenance required for good root health. Heavy feeders. Precede with legumes; follow by first cultivating the soil to expose pests for predation, then spread compost.
Cucumbers, gourds, melons, squash, pumpkins, watermelons:
For improved pest control, precede with winter rye or wheat; follow with legumes.
Beans, peas, clovers, vetches:
Beneficial to soil; few pest problems. Rotate alternately with all other garden crops when possible.
Wheat, oats, rye, corn:
Plant before tomato- or squash-family crops to control weeds and improve soil's ability to handle water.
Eggplant, peppers, potatoes, tomatoes:
Heavy feeders with many fungal enemies. Precede with cereal grain or grass; follow with legumes.
