The Wednesday Weigh-In : Week #43

   
We're at 1271.8 Pounds!
     
     First of apologies for the lack of updates these past couple weeks.  Our home has been retrofited with insulation and we have been staying at our parents house in Edina.  We've been commuting back to the house each day to work on patching, sanding, scraping, and painting the walls.  We've kept on harvesting, albeit a bit less than we would have if we were home.  Over the last two weeks we harvested a total of 100.2 lbs of food.  Of that 4.1 lbs was from 31 eggs.  The remaining 96.1 lbs was produce.  The top producers were:

       82.0 lbs of tomatoes
         2.9 lbs of eggplant
         2.8 lbs of celary
         1.9 lbs of chard
         1.8 lbs of kale

     Of the tomatoes about half were ripe, and the other half are still green.  The green ones are in our basement and will slowly ripen (if we don't eat them as fried green tomatoes) over the next month.  We still have a bunch on the vine and with the first frost looming over our heads we will be harvesting most of them soon.  
      
    
 Only 728.2 Pounds To Go !
