This is more of a discussion than a specific question but I was wondering what sort of crop (weight of harvested fruit)  tomato growers are expecting to get from each their plants this season.
 For the first time I am growing in an unheated greenhouse . Have 2 types; Roma (supposed to be the best cooking tomato) and Moneymaker (because they are supposed to be reliable) what quantity should I expect to get from each plant? - have 10 of each. In previous years I have always grown outside and have been hit by Blight so I am keen to make the most of my indoor Toms!
My plants were grown from seed and planted into beds  in the 2nd week of May. The ground was  treated to a hefty amount of well rotted horse manure laced with chicken pellets 6 weeks prior to planting, watered  each week and covered with black plastic to encourage warmth.

I intend to start feeding when the first fruits have set to give them the best possible chance - have got some organic tomato food ready for the little darlings- does anyone think it makes a difference compared to the normal Tomorite?
In addition to the Tomatoes I have managed to squeeze in some Chilli plants (x4) and a cucumber into the greenhouse, can they be fed the same as the tomatoes?


All suggestions greatly received

I've never weighed my harvest so couldn't tell you what the yield are..sorry.
But if you have well fertilised your bed as much as you say, IMO you wouldn't need extra feeding............at least not till towards the end of the growing season.
The plants suffer from overfeeding just as much as they would from under feeding.

I grow a total of 12 plants in an unheated greenhouse, this keeps my family of 4 well supplied until about Oct, also with any glut (which you will get with 20 plants) frozen and used for soup and in chilli’s etc, in fact I still have some frozen ones left.

10 toms in the main greenhouse, 5 shirley and 5 golden sunrise, keeps going through to Oct (weather dependent), the glut we will cook into sauces and oven dry for the winter months. never weighed, why complicate life!

ive got 6 elegance grafted toms in my tunnel which are growing at a stupid rate at the moment. The stuff from dobbies says i can expect a crop 50% larger than usual. At the moment i dont think its lying either, the plants are growing at probably 1ft every 3 days. MAD!

I think each plant gives a decent yield but saying that last year was a near disaster with blight for my toms (and everyone else's on the allotment).

But I did get quite few tomatoes from some of the plants: many of which I roasted overnight in the oven on very low temp (with salt, sugar and a bit of basil over the cut halves- best way to preserve them IMHO).  And froze others whole which I am still using in sauces and the like.
