First non-moon tomato turning red 16th September.

First moon tomato turning red 17th September.

They are starting to look a tad blightly; so I'm going to harvest this next moon cycle and weigh total toms on each, and then total of each that get to be eaten. Divided by the number of plants I'll have averages for all.

So, harvest moons on Weds evening: 17th September 2008
Harvest non-moons on thursday afternoon: 18th September.

Moon toms:
No of toms sown: 9
No of toms germinated: 9
Average times to germinate: 7 days
No of plants survived to harvest: 8
Harvested 17th September 2008
Weight of harvested tomatoes: 2745g
Weight of tomatoes used in food [taking out any blighty ones]:

Average weight of harvested toms per plant: 343g
Average weight of toms used in food per plant:

Non-Moon toms:
No of toms sown: 9
No of toms germinated: 9
Average times to germinate: 7 days
No of plants survived to harvest: 6
Harvested 18th september 2008
Weight of harvested toms: 1876g
Weight of toms used in food [taking out any blighty ones]:

Average weight of harvested toms per plant: 313g
Average weight of toms used in food per plant:

Decision: did moon planting work? Y/N

[Trial still in progress, until the Y/N decision is inputted].
