Jeff Davis, July 2007 Harvest

In another blog post, I noted that I estimated that last year's Jeff Davis tomato plant had about 70 pounds of tomatoes on it. I'll do an analysis of the results and see if I can verify it.

I had purchased a postal scale to get the weight of the tomato. I round it to the nearest half ounce. If it's 6 ounces or above, I record the weight.

Here's the results for Jeff Davis in July 2007...

July 3 -- Picked 1 tomato, 21.0 ounces.
July 5 -- Picked 2 tomatoes, 10 ounces and 11 ounces.

July 25 -- Picked 1 tomato, 11 ounces.
July 27 -- Picked 1 tomato, 10 ounces.
July 30 -- Picked 1 tomato.

There were only two harvested Jeff Davis tomatoes that were less than six ounces in July.

I only did the math once, but tallying all this up comes to 58 pounds of tomatoes. Clearly some of the tomatoes grew as the month progressed, but it wouldn't be unreasonable at all to say that on July 1, Jeff Davis had 50 pounds of tomatoes growing on the vines.
