Pounds of tomatoes

0

There are more tomatoes than we can eat. The end of August and beginning of September have yielded many pounds of tomatoes. I started measuring the weight of tomatoes that I bring in.

The colander in which I gather tomatoes to weight on the scale itself weighs 0.5 oz. So the amounts listed below have the colander weight subtracted (photos do not).

Sep 01: Single tomato weighing 14 oz and a few batches:  13.7 oz, 19.4 oz, 23.8,
Sep 10: 3lbs 9oz
Sep 13: 2lbs 9oz

Total: 168.9oz (10 and a half pounds). If that’s $4 a pound (typical $3.99 price plus one cent) that would be $42 of organic tomatoes. Except these ones are even more delicious, and ripe, and weren’t imported hundreds or thousands of miles.

A few photos just for fun!
