Google says a single plant may yeild 25 lbs of fruit. That could end
up being 625 lbs of tomatos!
It takes 56 lbs of tomatoes to make 7 quarts of juice.
625 lbs would make about 77 quarts of juice. But WHOLE tomatoes and
sauces could be made instead. I use about one quart of juice each week
for soups, marinades and beverages. But lets not forget many will be
eaten fresh. Insects love tomatoes also
