I still have the tomato plants growing in the greenhouse, so it is nice to be able to do some harvests now and have some of the first giant tomatoes to hit the scale for this year. This plant did not have its tomatoes thinned and as you (and my students) can see there are many tomatoes produced, but the largest has only been 540g (or 1.19lbs). However, it has produced over 5000g (or 11 pounds) of great eating tomatoes;-) The goal of this plant was to show the effect of letting any and all tomatoes set on the plant and the effect on the overall yield.
