Well, I have tabulated and tallied all of the numbers for the amount of weight for each of the items grown this year. To me, this is pretty remakable but after seeing several other individuals have 500 pounds and even over 1000 pounds produced from their gardens, I am quite far from that. But, I am happy with the amount this year.
- Black Simpson Elite Lettuce – 11 pounds, 6 3/4 ounces
- Radishes – 7 3/8 ounces (didn't grow well due to lack of sunlight I believe)
- Tri-Star Strawberries – 19 pounds, 1/2 ounce (not bad for 48 plants just planted this year)
- Dwarf Gray Sugar Peas – 12 pounds, 4 5/8 ounces (will not plant next year – too much work and we are not eating them)
- Green Goliath Broccoli – 5 pounds, 10 3/4 ounces (total of 8)
- Snowball X Cauliflower – 2 pounds, 4 3/4 ounces (total of 6 – will not plant next year)
- Burpee A#1 Carrot – 18 pounds
- California Wonder Bell Pepper – 32 pounds, 12 7/8 ounces (total of 130)
- Green Beans (mix of Bush Blue Lake 274 and Bush Blue Lake 47) – 55 pounds, 13 3/8 ounces
- Best Boy Tomato – 21 pounds, 14 1/4 ounces (total of 50)
- Roma Tomato – 24 pounds, 9 1/2 ounces (total of 233)
- Red Cherry Tomato – 3 pounds, 7 7/8 ounce
- Yellow Onion – 5 pounds, 11 1/4 ounces (total of 28)
- White Onion – 5 pounds, 12 3/8 ounces (total of 36)
- Marketmore 76 Cucumber – 6 pounds, 10 3/8 ounces (total of 15)
- Burpee Picker Cucumber – 4 pounds, 4 1/4 ounces (total of 12)
- Sugar Dots Corn – 5 pounds, 14 7/8 ounces (total of 31 ears)
- Peaches & Cream Corn – 8 pounds, 4 1/8 ounces (total of 43 ears)
- Kennebec Potatoes – 16 pounds, 9 3/4 ounces
The grand total for the year came in at 260 pounds, 8 5/8 ounces of produce.
Now since I'm a numbers kind of guy, the next step will be to compare the cost of them at the local supermarket that we purchase groceries from. Although all of the above were fresh and organic, I will compare them against the prices of the items we typically buy to get a **real** estimate of the amount of money that was saved with the garden this year.
