I’m planning my first vegetable garden this year and trying to estimate my total yield for canning purposes. I'm growing a mix of cherry and beefsteak varieties in large containers with organic fertilizer. Can anyone share their realistic harvest data regarding how many kilos of tomatoes per plant I should expect under optimal conditions? I want to make sure I have enough jars ready for the end of the season.
 
I've been growing tomatoes in containers for a while now and I can share my experience with you. On average, I'd say a healthy cherry tomato plant can give you around 2-3 kilos of fruit per season, while a beefsteak variety can yield around 4-5 kilos. Of course, this depends on factors like sunlight, watering, and fertilization, but since you're using organic fertilizer and large containers, I think you're off to a great start. Keep in mind that these are rough estimates, but they should give you a good idea of what to expect, and help you plan your canning season accordingly.
