BeastMistres Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 I weighed everything that came out of my garden this year. I'm really at 49lbs, 12 oz, but I have a bunch of greens that will come in tomorrow to push me over. Doesn't get any better than organic food that you bring in from your own yard. Had I gotten a tomato harvest this year, I could've hit 100lbs. There's always next year. I'm also happy to note that we've reached the time of year when I don't have to buy greens for my iguana. Probably won't have to until March or so. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] LVL 2 Slayer Ranger STR-4.5 DEX-3 STA-6.5 CON-4.5 WIS-5 CHA-3 Link to comment
Elastigirl Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 sweet! Interesting idea... I wonder how much food I would have grown in lbs, especially if I get to count the apples Wisdom 22.5 Dexterity 13 Charisma 15 Strength 21 Constitution-13 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind' Luke 10; 27 Link to comment
Norgaard Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 homegrown vegs are always the best. I think I got around the same in this year from my own little garden, and also a ton of herbs, its very nice to go around and smell how mother nature does her thing Be like water my friend Link to comment
Georges Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Awesome! For extra fun, think for a sec about how much money that would have cost to buy. I know that here in Maine, organic greens are well over $10/pound... This used to be where my weight loss progress bar was. Maybe it will be here again when I'm ready to face the scale and work on my fat problem.

Odyssey Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Wow, that is a lot of yummy stuff! How big is your garden? I only have a small one, and nothing wanted to grow this year other than the peppers.

Arawlins Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 I wanted to weigh everything, but it just never happens. Of course my kids picking berries off the bushes dashes all hope of getting a real total. I hope to get some trees in this year. Monk Current Challenge Links: Current Daily Log Link to comment

ellisd012 Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Great news...I have had a small garden for two seasons now and it is great! I have not weighed the produce...we may have hit 50 lbs for both seasons combined, but it is a joy!

rketterman Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Unfortunately where I live I have no yard big enough to do anything with...however I have some nice size porches...and lots of containers. Last summer I grew some of my own food. Didn't get much from it but I'm planning ahead this year and I got some awesome Christmas gifts that will help this year. For the colder months I have an aerogarden. Pretty nifty piece of equipment. I usually grow some herbs or greens. I have grown green beans and cherry tomatoes in the past. It's not as flavorful as soil grown food but it's been well worth the investment. "Do what I do. Hold tight and pretend it's a plan." -The Doctor Nothing is impossible.

vintageenvy Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 That is an awesome accomplishment! One of my goals every year is to really build myself a productive garden, but I have yet to make it a priority. Maybe 2013 can be my year with some proper planning. You're an inspiration! No matter how slow you're going, you're still lapping everyone on the couch. Hobbit Adventurer STR - 4 DEX - 3 STA - 4 CON - 5.25 WIS - 5 CHA - 6.5 Link to comment

I only have a small one, and nothing wanted to grow this year other than the peppers.I have a few small raised beds, and some blueberry bushes in some half barrels. About 100' of garden space I believe. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] LVL 2 Slayer Ranger STR-4.5 DEX-3 STA-6.5 CON-4.5 WIS-5 CHA-3 Link to comment
