Hi Lola,
I love your numbers!
I bet your numbers will increase over the years to come. If you can get your family members included in food growing, they will increase more.
Be creative, find more spaces to grow, and above all: Enjoy gardening and eating your homegrown food.
Normally I don't count or weigh my produce, because I lack the discipline to keep it up. Sometimes I do an estimate. So, the only real number I have for you is on my home grown wheat (I think). I started with one ear of wheat, that I picked up from the road next to a just harvested field. I picked off the seeds to sow in my garden in the fall just to have some roots in the ground. Next year I harvested a few ears and planted all the seeds again in fall. This year, I have wheat that seems to have huge graines inside. I have just finished cleaning the seeds and weigh them: 291 grams. Not enough for even one bread, but I am very proud anyways. I have already sowed some, and intent to sow some more.
A few more memorable numbers: my largest apple weights 480 grams, one year I grew 83kg of pumpkins total. An old record of 53 pots of tomato chutney. This year I tried wine making. There is aproximately 18 liters ripening in my shed.
Keep it up, have fun. I would love to see your numbers next year!
Kind regards Nynke
