2006/2007 Tomato Harvest Summary

For analysis purposes, I kept track of the tomatoes picked in the 2006/2007 season. All up, I picked 1312 "good" tomatoes this season, weighing in at about 61.4 kg. The first table below summarises the "good" crop, excluding the tiny Cherry Ripe tomatoes.

In addition to numbers, I've included the total weights of fruits picked from the individual plants. I also kept count of the number of "bad" fruit - i.e. those that were diseased and thus picked early and discarded.

I've excluded the Cherry Ripe details since they would distort the average too much. More importantly, I couldn't weigh each individual tomato accurately enough anyway, since the fruit was so small. I ended up picking 111 of the tiny cherry tomatoes. Assuming an average weight of 2.5 grams, that would make the total yield 277.5 grams, which is only slightly more than the average weight of a single beefsteak tomato from plant A4!
