Measure the circumference and use this. It is close enough to give you a good idea of what it weighs.

20"-- 3#
21"-- 3.5#
22"-- 4#
23"-- 4.5#
24"-- 5#
25"-- 5.5#
26"-- 6#
27"-- 6.5#
28"-- 7#

Yardman,

Take a measuring tape and measure the circumference of the tomato.

Post the measurement here and I'll look it up for you.

If you want more than a ball-park estimate, you can apply the formulas listed at:
