How big is the lot?
and pictures please. Awesome!!!
I just found your site and I must say I'm loving it. I especially can't wait to see more pictures of your fruit trees. I'm thinking about making a fruit tree fence.
I think you should add the weight you lost to the total pounds of food for 2010
Did your pawpaws, and cherry tree's survive the winter? I planted a whitegold cherry in my zone 4 garden, so I'm wondering how your have panned out.
I would love to know what your actual investment was.
Amazing! Inspiring.
I live in Minneapolis and am inspired by your experience. Any chance I can visit?
I just found your blog and subscribed so that I can stay informed of your progress. My wife and I also live in St. Paul and weigh all of our garden veggies. We have apple trees and 23 chickens too, but don't weigh our apples or eggs. Last year (2010) we also produced over 1500 pounds of food. We keep a daily record but haven't added everything up yet for 2011. I liked your article about artichokes!
