Tracking the Harvest: August

Monday, September 3, 2012 20:22

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

It’s been a long, tough August at my house, but the garden has pulled through for us pretty well. The harvests haven’t been spectacular, but they’ve been steady. The weights, as always, are recorded in kilograms:

August

Tomatoes, ripe	9.95
Peppers	5.85
Southern peas	1.25
Trombocino squash	1.4
Eggplants	0.7
Figs	0.9
Butternut squash, dwarf	1.85

The August total is 21.9 kg, which converts to 48 lb and 4.5 oz.

The 2012 running total, from Jan. through Aug., is 316 pounds, 12 ounces.

Parts of the garden, including the fig tree, were smashed when the tree fell, but I don’t think the smashed parts would have added tremendously to the total. Besides the figs, we lost bush beans, parching corn, okra, and some herbs.

Home gardening can provide a lot of good food for families and communities. It’s also some work, but I love it. This blog is about the garden and yard where I “grow my own,” NW of Atlanta, Georgia.
