Oh yea, a little addendum just for giggles and grins: http://ag.arizona.edu/pubs/garden/mg.../tomatoes.html Approximate yields: 15 to 45 pounds per 10-foot row. http://www.ehow.com/facts 7242813 many-tomatoes-can-one-plant .html Average Yield The average tomato plant produces just five pounds of tomatoes, according to the University of Missouri Extension. However, you may attain yields as high as 20 pounds per plant if you provide proper care for your plants. so: low end : 5 x 26 = 130 high end: 20 x 26 =520 You are saying you got 500+ #s, from 26 plants w/ more to come and no waste! Wow! But still Bird , the Missouri thing comes out and ya cannot show me that your not being a bit too enthusiastic with your numbers. It is human nature after all especially when called out on a public forum. So don't take it too personal, but seriously folks tend to inflate for ego.... just look at billy.... so a grain of salt and such. Still good on ya. Lets see what the next few months bring ya. I'll still be growing. Canned toms are a buck ten for a 28 oz these days up here. Hot house vines are 2.29-2.99 a # and they are from the PNW, not CA., Fla. AZ, nor Mexico. BTW do you ever read market reports? may not mean anything to you but it is a good gauge for your efforts: http://produceone.com/markets/ Prices represent open (spot) market sales by first handlers on product of generally good quality and condition unless otherwise stated and may include promotional allowances or other incentives.

Nice little backyard project. Do check these out, bit old but they are a pretty good standard that can be verified, not that I do not trust your figures but i do not think you truly understand the macro view in your zeal to have folks buy into the organo billy world. Know there are pros and cons to all, just don't try to tell me you have a one size fits all like billy pretends. OK? That is really stupid thinking. http://www.uky.edu/Ag/HLA/anderson/gh tom.htm http://midwestpermaculture.com/self-...nhouse/greenho use-profit-potential/ BTW Its still Gunner unless you want me to keep flipping you guys the bird? Your call. But, you do respond to it Gunny. Just can't resist put up a post, can you, Gunny?
