Greetings, the numbers have been crunched...
Zucchini - 1,033 lbs. We were still harvesting in October WOW!
Cucumbers - 336 lbs. Arrived early but did not fare well - disease and bugs got to them.  
Green Peppers - 1,572 lbs. Really nice year for peppers; just kept on producing all the way to frost
Tomatoes - 5,701 lbs. Better than last year, still our most popular veggie
Eggplant - 313 lbs. Nice harvest from 50 plants
Yellow String Beans - 59 lbs. Planted less than other years but they just did not grow as good as I would have liked 
Green String Beans - 567 lbs. Summer plants gave out early, fall plants did well, also a half row did not germinate. 
Potatoes - 1,062 lbs. A new record! Planted 3 different types of potatoes, 2 yellow and 1 red all did well.
Butternut Squash - 25 lbs. Planted just 2 raised beds 
Sweet Potatoes - 202 Lbs. Very nice but the gophers had a feast with several of the bigger potatoes.
Honey Nut Squash - 32 lbs. Seeds did not germinate as well as other years 
Broccoli - 168 lbs. Fall harvest was better than spring harvest
Cabbage 1,756 lbs. Not a record but a nice harvest; the dry weather kept the heads smaller
Red beets - 208 lbs. Not bad but several beds did not produce as well as expected. Planted both red and golden beets
Carrots - 57 lbs. Only planted a spring crop.
Onions - 750 lbs. Our onions were smaller than other years.  
Hot Peppers (Jalapeño) 72 lbs. Very hot this year; used in our salsa
Lima beans - 128 lbs. Planted further apart this year; the plants bushed out and did well.
Cauliflower - 212 lbs. Lost quite a few; they bolted early
Lettuce 240 lbs. Around 60 heads. Lost several to wilting. The heads we harvested were beautiful. 
That is the harvest for 2024. We did harvest some dry corn and a few ground cherries. The total comes to 14,493 lbs. Better than last year and a goal to shoot for in 2025. Thank you to all who supported the garden mission this season. See you in 2025! ​
