Tomato Data Needed

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

I'm attempting to create a database on average yields per plant of various
tomato varieties--heirlooms, OP's and hybrids.  The best sources, I feel,
are gardeners and farmers who grow specific varieties.  I hope to publish
this data in a usuable form by Summer.  And, I will publish it to the list,
too.  Please send email directly to me:
doreen@fgi.net
You may share with the list, if you want, but it's not my aim to clutter the
bandwidth.
List the following, please:
Variety (include hybrid, OP and determinate, indeterminate designation)
USDA Climate Zone or Region of the World
Pounds per plant
Number of Tomatoes per plant
Any cultural pecularities or tips for that variety

For instance, I grew Brandywine (heirloom, indeterminate) in Zone 9b on the
Gulf Coast of Texas for 4 years in a row.  Most years, the flowers did not
set due to heat and humidity.  The one year there was fruit, the yield was
18 tomatoes (average) per plant for an average weight of 25.6 lbs. per
plant.

Another example:  Carnival (hybrid, determinate); in Zone 9b; 61 fruit;
average weight per plant 52 lbs.  Well suited to hot, humid climate; will
set heavily.
TIA
Doreen Howard
