- Tomatoes: 109.2lb (plus the ones I didn't weigh, maybe another 10lb. Oops.)
- Lemon Boy (7oz): 147, 64.3lb
- Sunsugar (1/2oz): 497, 15.5lb
- Early Girl (5oz): 54, 16.9lb
- Celebration or Early Girl (couldn't tell the difference later in the season when smaller): 77, 12.5lb
- Yellow pear: 0. Died before it flowered, after the puppy dug grubs out from the roots.
- Greens: ~ 2lb
- Fruit: Did a bad job of weighing this year, and the trees were cut so severely by the landscapers that they didn't produce much. ~ 13lb as an underestimate
- Plum: ~ 8lb (Currently have 4lb still in the freezer)
- Apple: ~ 5lb
- Roots: 7lb
- Sweet potato: 7lb
- Radishes: not enough to count
- Squash: 21.4lb
- Yellow papaya squash (~1.5lb... 2 were 3.2lbs!): 10 large squash, 21.4lb
- Zuccini: 0. They all died or didn't grow.
Total: 152.6 lbs of produce!
The real winners as far as poundage this year were the Lemon Boy tomato and the Yellow Papaya Squash... 85 pounds between them! I'll definitely have to add some form of squash and some Lemon Boys to this year's garden plan. Lemon Boys may be a little bland, but they make for delicious salsa and a sweet tomato soup.
Not all of that produce was eaten... I canned or dehydrated 10 gallons of tomatoes, and have 4 pounds of pitted plums in the freezer still, to be made into plum gin and preserves. There's also a lot of dried basil, marjoram, and mint. There's still some mustard, bull's blood beet, radish, kale, chard, and parsley out there still surviving the winter in the ground as well.
How'd your garden do last year? What would you do to improve it?
