Last month I decided to start writing down all the food we harvested from our land. In April, I only kept track of eggs, but this month I tried to remember to measure everytime we brought something in the house. I keep a little scale on the kitchen counter for just this.
April Harvest
- 146 eggs
May Harvest-
- 110 eggs (we were down because 3 of our hens were broody and not laying)
- 5 pounds 4 ounces strawberries
- 2 pounds shiitake mushrooms
- 4 ounce rose petals
- ~2 pounds of greens (this included chickweed, kale, lettuce, pea shoots, and spinach. I’ll try to be better about separating then next month. Sometimes we would go grab some greens for a sandwich and forget to measure.
In May, we also had 11 inches of rain!!
