I've also decided that plants that produce over an extended period of time (I call them "many timers"),
like those listed above, can do this for at least four weeks. So for example once a tomato plant begins
to produce ripe fruit, I can count on at least four more weeks of fruit production from that plant. Same
for all those plants listed above. Does this sound reasonable? I actually think, in fact, that as long as the
plant doesn't get sick or infested, that four weeks is an underestimate, but I'd like to know if you think
that four weeks is a good minimum number of weeks to expect.

Hi Matt,

I don't think you can use just one time period for all your "many timers" though I like the concept. For me, peas produce for about 3 weeks... thy are still there in the 4th week but production has tapered way off. Tomatoes and peppers, once they start, go all the way to frost. Chard just goes all season and into the winter. And I am sure those numbers will be very different from one climate to another.
