2005 Harvests

Last updated August 26, 2005
Arugula	N/A
Beans	4lbs, 12 oz.
Chives	N/A
Cilantro	N/A
Collards	2lbs, 8 oz.
Garlic	7 oz.
Lettuce (Black-Seeded Simpson)	9.5 oz.
Okra	14 oz.
Mint	N/A
Parsley	N/A
Peppers (Hot)	1 lb.
Peppers (Sweet)	1 lb.
Raspberries	2 lbs, 4oz.
Rosemary	N/A
Tomatoes	8 lbs, 5oz.
TOTAL	21 lbs, 11.5 oz.

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.
