The time requirements for crops to reach edible size varies, of course, according to the seasons and varieties. Different soils also have a profound influence. 
A tomato, for instance, which in Southern New Jersey will mature in 90 days, may require from 100 to 110 days in sections further north having heavy clay soils. 
Allowance also must be made for the relative estimate of the yields, due to climatic and soil conditions. But the averages will be found to be fairly accurate on 
the basis of many years of observation.
