I've developed a first draft of a growth rate formula for growing an 8 pound tomato.

This Michael's Portuguese Monster tomato is just about keeping up!! In my experience, big tomatoes pack on most of their weight between day 16-36. For this projection, that means a steady weight gain of close to 0.2 lb. per day for three weeks straight.

Now at 18 days along, we're just entering that crucial, pack-on-the-weight phase. Let's see how it performs!

Daily updates and occasional pictures will be posted at:
