2021 Total Vegetable Yield

448.98 pounds of veggies from 200 square feet of growing area. Worth over $600 using conventional pricing, so I definitely made back what it cost me to grow it (around $200? I have to check.) Not too shabby. Last year’s yield was a paltry 250 pounds. My goal this year was 50% more, or 375 pounds, which I exceeded by almost 75 pounds.

Some things didn’t do as well as I would have liked. I let the lettuce fizzle out when summer rolled around and never got back to it. Ditto for the radishes. I never even picked the chard, which was decimated by sun and bugs. Less than 6 pounds of red bell peppers. Less than 10 pounds of potatoes. And the tomatoes, only 40 pounds? Yeesh.

I was happy with the yield of the cabbage, zucchini, sweet potatoes and cucumbers.

The onion yield was good, but it only lasted about 6 months. I could use twice that. And it wasn’t a good storage variety, so I had to chop them up and throw them in the freezer.

So I know what I need to work on for 2022. Basically, I want more of everything.
