Mater count, and other dumb questions ;)

tgplp · May 18, 2011

Hello! I'm super excited, my bigger plants have buds, and my Sungold plant has open and opening flowers! Eeek!

Now I have some dumb questions... Here they are.
1. How many plants do you need to feed an average family of four ?

2. How many tomatoes do you get from an average cherry tomato plant and from an average beefsteak plant?

3. If my sungold is flowering now, when will I have ripe cherries? *drools*!

4. I am worried that my plants won't get fruit set in this weather. It rained and was about 50 degrees on Sunday, yesterday was sunny and about 65 degrees, today is sunny and about 65 degrees, and the next two days are sunny and about 70 degrees. The nights are usually 45-53 degrees. Will this weather set tomatoes?

Thanks for tolerating these dumb questions!
