When its harvest time I put a clip board and pencil in the garage and my intent is to write down everything that comes off the garden. It is either weighed or counted and recorded. Good intentions, yes, but I know there are things that never get recorded. Some things were never harvested, but went for green manure. Any way, here is the totals of what got written on the list.

I divide my garden into 4 areas so the rows of corn are 35 feet long. I plant from 3 to six rows in a planting. I had 3 varieties last year and succession plantings of my main variety. I don't recall how many rows I actually had. For a 35 foot row you can figure on getting 35 large prime ears and some smaller ears.
Celebrity tomato is what I usually plant. Their fruits are baseball size. They are probably around 8 oz. I highly recommend this variety. Disease resistant and the shoulders seldom crack.
Edit: Oh, I looked in my book and I actually made a map. I had ten rows of corn.
