Tracking the Harvest: Nov. 2012

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


I’m pretty sure I’ve picked a lot more lettuce than is recorded here. I bring some in several days each week for the bunnies, but by the time it hits the kitchen it’s mixed with chickweed, violet leaves, dandelions and chicory, bits of dill and fennel that are still green, parsley, and other bunny-friendly weeds and herbs.

The harvest total is suffering a little as a result, but the bunnies are doing great!

As always, the recorded weights are in kilograms:

Nov.
Persimmons, Asian
0.8
Radish, winter
0.3
Lettuce
0.45
spinach
0.3
Broccoli
1.85
Cabbage
1.75
Carrots
0.45
Bok Choy
0.85
Potatoes, sweet
0.35
Onions, green
0.15
Potatoes
0.65

I found a couple more good sweet potatoes when I was digging over the space for multiplying onions. They were an unexpected treat! I am sure I’m not the only gardener to uncover more spuds – of any kind – weeks after the initial harvest.

Overall, the November harvest was not especially large, but it was varied. November’s harvest total is

7.85 kg, which equals 17 pounds, 4.9 oz.

The running total for 2012, Jan. through Nov., is

189.2 kg, or about 417 pounds. 

I can’t complain, but I also think I can do better. Maybe in 2013 I’ll be 100% consistent about recording the weights of absolutely everything that I bring in from the yard, including the bunny salad, and maybe I’ll do better at planning (and implementing the plan) to not let any space go empty.
The future is hard to predict, so I won’t make any guarantees, but I am hoping to do better next year!

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.
