Weighing Produce

How much produce did you get by the end of the growing season? Keep track of the number of produce and weight of each vegetable or fruit as it is produced. You can keep a chart of all of this information to look back at after your garden stops producing. In the vertical columns list each specific plant by its species and an assigned plant number. Across the chart, number from 1 - 20. Each time you can harvest a particular plant's produce record the weight and length of the produce in the columns next to the plant name. Continue adding onto this chart throughout the growing season. Compare the produce from each plant. Which plant of each species grew the most produce? Which plant species provided the most produce? What was the heaviest piece of produce you weighed? What was the lightest? Will this data change how you plan your garden for the next growing season?
