Will 25 tomato plants be enough for two people?

[Dan L.]

You are correct, I looked it up in the Holy Bible of canning books, "Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving" ISBN-10: 077880139X On page 360, "On average, it takes 3 to 3.25 lbs of tomatoes to make one quart of juice". 7 quarts is about 22lbs. So I am way off, Thank you for correcting my mistake :(

I think, not postive now that my brain received a massive jolt. The number 56 is the average weight of a bushel of tomatoes. In the Bible The number is 53 for the average, Page 427.

It's not often I get a strong head smack, it hurts. Kneeling in penitence: Repeating: "I am not stupid" over and over until the pain goes away :(

Plant early varieties and late varieties. Yield varies depending on sunlight, temperature, water, soil conditions, polinating insects, etc. Staking tomatoes may somewhat reduce the yield of a plant, allowing them to vine on the ground usually helps yield but you should the fruit off the ground with straw. A tomato plant in Ohio will typically outperform a similar tomato plant in east Tennessee because tomato plants like cooler nights.

Nightshades do much better with warm nights
