Here is the beginning of a running tally of vegetables we collect from the garden. I’ve noticed that several other garden bloggers are doing similar vegetable counts and it’s just too cool of an idea to pass up! Hopefully I can keep it updated on a daily basis. Keeping track of the total vegetable crop should be a good way to estimate what the actual financial benefit of the garden is for this year. I’ll be updating this post regularly with vegetable numbers and hopefully some financial analysis later so keep checking back!

Great idea to keep up with it all.
It's great to keep track, it's makes you realize how much you can actually grow at home.
This is such a good idea -when my first cucumber finally gets big enough I will start it!

I'm so glad I found your blog! I also live in Spring Hill and am planning our vegetable garden for next year. But just from what we've grown in the landscaping this year, I've made 3 batches of pesto, and had 5 large bell peppers and about 30 jalapeno peppers so far!
