I don't think it's worth my time to keep THAT detailed of a record.

I try to track "growing degree days" as opposed to the older DTM. Here in N Central MN, an 80-day variety is a long-season sort, taking 95 days. Unfortunately, not many use that data

"Fantastic" averages about 1700 GDD for me. In my garden that occurs in early- to mid-August. Fantastic used to be an extremely popular variety, less so now, but one can still get seeds easily.

Past that, I have chosen a few categories and a representative I compare to: for example every red, full-sized slicer-canner is compared to Fantastic. Earlier, later, bigger, smaller, more or fewer tomatoes.

I use a few others representative of a type.
