2009’s Results
November 29, 2009
Thanks to a last minute carrot harvest, my pull for the season is approximately 81.6 pounds. How does it all shake down?
Beans: 3 lbs.
Broccoli: .25 lbs.
Cucumbers: 23.65 lbs.
Carrots: 3.5 lbs.
Peppers: 3.775 lbs.
Pumpkins: 29 lbs.
Tomatoes: 13.635 lbs.
Watermelons: 4.8 lbs.
Looking at some of these results, I have to wonder if the effort was worth the outcome. I’ll be spending the next few months thinking about that, plus I’ll assess how I used what I picked. Unfortunately, whether it was lack of time, or lack of understanding, a percentage of things went to waste.
Cheer up. Anything you left in the garden is not waste. Look at it as fertilizer for next year. The organic matter will provide food for all kinds of organisms in the ground and will help build the soil tilth over time.
