| 4′ Tall Artichoke Plants |
The artichokes are CRAZY! The lettuce is going strong too. The strawberries…not so much…yet. We aren’t currently weighing the strawberries. When they come in we wash them off and freeze them. When our bag is full we will then weigh them. So what’s this weeks harvest breakdown? It’s heavy on the artichoke side. Keep in mind that I last updated the list on Saturday so it’s not a full week’s worth of produce. I base all of our prices off of locally grown, organic produce in our area. Most prices come from Diablo Foods.

Not all that impressive in my opinion, but the garden is just starting up so we haven’t really gotten into the swing of things yet. But it does add up.
It really does add up, and there's also the satisfaction of knowing you produced it yourself (well, with the help of your chickens of course).
Very cool! Food tastes better when you grow it yourself, but saving money make sit taste wayyyyyyy better.
