The Wednesday Weigh-In : Week #36

  

We're at 958.3 Pounds!

    

     It was another week of solid food production.  We exceeded our personal consumption of produce, and in total for the week produced 80.1 lbs of food.  Thats nearly 11.5 pounds per day (down about 3.5 pounds per day from last week)!  With the Minnesota state fair and our folks in from out of town we did not eat every meal from the garden but came close.  We were able to make some dried tomatoes, can some salsa and gardenia, and freeze some kale and chard for the winter.  From the total, only 3.0 lbs were from the 24 eggs our chickens laid (they slowed down production with the change in temperature from the 80's to the 60's).  The remaining 77.1 pounds was produce.  Here is the list of the top ten items for the week:

     21.8 lbs of tomatoes

       8.1 lbs of kale

       6.9 lbs of beans

       6.3 lbs of chard

       5.4 lbs of basil
