17 tomatoes on one plant!

You're doing very good for your first attempt! I'm impressed! Your little plant actually looks much healthier than mine do. Mine suffered terribly during a really hot spell we went through earlier this summer. Tomatoes aren't very fond of excessive heat. The amount of tomatoes you can get on a single plant varies according to how large the plant is. I've grown some that were over 10 feet long! I had maybe 50 or 60 tomatoes on them at one time. But, just by seeing your little plant, I'd say that you are doing exceptionally well with 17 tomatoes on it! Well, 16 now... I read your comment about your mom just picking one. LOL You've got a green thumb, for sure! Yes, please do more next year. You'll be amazed at what can grow from such tiny little seeds! Oh, be sure to plant something that YOU like to eat. There's nothing like picking something you grew and popping it into your mouth!

Wow thats great. I also have tomatoes plants and have been picking quite a few myself. I love tomatoes. Right now the picking been slow I dont think I will get to many any more. You are like my husband he does not like tomatoes at all either, oh well I have them all to eat myself.

How many tomatoes are usual on a plant? I've never really counted, but the tomato will continue to produce until frost if it's taken care of. I would estimate you could get upwards of 50 to 75 tomatoes per plant, maybe more.

That is really wonderful.Those of us who are into gardening will know the thrill one gets out of it.I stayed in a different place earlier and there I used to grow these hybrid tomatoes and I remember they used to weigh over a kilo each and it used to be so heavy and I had to keep supports for every plant.I don't remember counting them.But 17 is quite a bit.Enjoy your gardening.Have a good harvest.

Hey Dragon. You did a good job with your first planting. Seventeen on the tomato plant at one time is pretty good. I'm going to have a small garden next year. I'll probably have zucchini, tomatoes, bell peppers, and maybe some carrots. I'm not sure if I can actually have a garden spot but I'll see if a can have some large containers for the plants. I'm going to keep an eye out the next few paydays so that I can get some planters that are marked down in price. Good luck on your garden next year! You should be able to grow everything for your salsa!

Wow, it must feel great. My mom loves to do gardening and she loves to see the fruit the plant bears. She too has a tomato plant and it bears about 30-35 tomatoes. The taste of freshly picked fruits and veggies is very diffrent that the ones that we buy, it is very tasty. Enjoy the tomatoes, you would start to like them!!
