Well I put 4 Yukon golds, 4 Red Pontiacs, 4 Turnips,4 ears if corn, 4 Big Boy Mators, 4 Onions, 4 Garlic Bulbs, and 4 Beets in a box on the scale. They weighed 23# 9ozs. Our gardening season has peaked and we are well into harvesting canning, drying, freezing, pickling, and dehydrating. The green bean crop was harvested for the last time last week,but we're waighting on the dried beans. the tators and beets were dug. Onions and garlic has been drying for two weeks now. The summer squash and zuccini are all but history. The Mators are ripening slow, but the "big boys" we planted are huge, many a # each. We put up around 100qts. of V8.5 juice each year. The cabage is ready to harvest and make slaw and krout from. Our red bell peppers are now turning red also, and the Kohrobie is softball size. They and the celery should be ready when the maters ripen to make juice. We have plenty of stewed mators and sauce left from last year. The winter squash "hubbards, and hubernuts" are putting on the lbs. daily. The wifey and her sister have been fishing in the farm ponds, and we have about 20 meals of bass and trout in the freezer as well. If we're lucky, we will also have some venison to carry us through. We don't plan on spending much for food at the grocery this comuming year, although that other things we need from there are still spendy. I'm going to have to grow some hops and talk the uncles on the farm into growing some barley next year so I can make my own Barley Pop next year. LOL
