Notes: The arugula and herbs are harvested in very small portions, and would be too difficult to measure. Altogether, they probably add an extra pound or two.

I use a cheap kitchen scale for the measurements. I am uncertain how accurate it is. Also, it does not display metric units, so everything is in ounces and pounds.

What?	In July 2002, I moved into a new apartment with a huge overgrown backyard. My landlord told me I could do “whatever I want back there”. I decided to chop down the brush, and grow some food. This web journal keeps track of the adventure.
Who?	Brian Bender—a professional web developer and over-achieving slacker.
Where?	Chicago, the garden city.
Why?	I like food. I like plants. I like working outside. I like making web pages about things I like.
