December Garden Tally


This will be a short post :)

Pecans...................5lbs.
Tomatoes.............5lbs.
Peanuts.................4 lbs.
Peppers.................2 lbs.
Lettuce..................2 lbs.
Citrus.....................1 lb.

.....and 157 eggs.

Total for December.......19 lbs.
Total for 2009 (drum roll please).............962 lbs.

So, we didn't make it to our goal of 1000lbs. but it was actually a much better total than we thought we could manage when we started this experiment (original goal was 500 lbs.) Since our second garden was not in production until summer, we should have no trouble surpassing the half-ton mark in 2010. We are discussing a realistic goal, maybe around 1200 lbs.

WOW! I am impressed. I don't even have grass in my yard :) I just found your blog (not so hard with the blog frog, since you visited mine!) and I am really enjoying it so far. Your post about the puppy reminded me (again) why I don't want pets! Have a great day. Shannon
