How many seconds are there the time from sowing tomato seed to eating the first tomato?

Answer 1

The length of time between tomato seed germination and harvesting that first luscious tomato varies with the type of tomato grown. The larger the tomato the longer it will be on the vine. However, you can look forward to a 4 ounce tomato about 45 days after transplant, if the flowers arrive on time. Tomatoes weighing 10 ounces will take a good 65 days after transplanting to produce a fruit.

Answer 2

4 to 5 months. It depends upon the variety of tomato. Instructions are usually to start the seeds indoors 8 weeks prior to the first frost. Then the days to harvest is figured from the date of setting out the seedlings. Some varieties can mature in as little as 52 days. Others, like the big beefsteak varieties can take up to 90 days. When you add the indoor time, the earliest to maturity will be about 108 days or 3.6 months. The longest maturing will be about 5 months.

Realize that these times frames are under ideal conditions. If growing conditions are not the best - not enough sun, water, or fertilizer, poor soil, temperatures too hot or too cold, pests, etc. - the time to harvest and the crop yield will be adversely affected.

Answer 3

The time for a tomato to be sown and eaten is about 6 months
