Not daily harvest but my seasons harvest... (I keep records of pickings on most of my veg)

After seeing the price of runner beans in town I decided to do a harvest record just to see how much I have grown and priced at supermarket prices.. Some estimates are on the lower side!!

Strawberries 40kg = 88punnet @ £2.50 = £225
Broadbeans 6kg @ £1.80 per kg = £11
Peas 6kg @ £2 = £12
Potatoes 90kg @ £1 = £90
Gemsquash 120 @ 50p = £60
Runner beans 30kg @ 6.67 = £200
Courgettes 18kg @ £1.60 = £29
Squashes loads +/- 12 @ £1 = £12
Hubbard squash 4 large @ £4 = £16
Acorn squash 14 @ £1 + £14
Beetroot +/- 25 kg @ £3.3 = £83
Garlic 80 large bulbs @ 50p = £40
Onions 450 @ 20p = £90
Tomatoes loads! 100kg++ @ £2.50 = £250
Sweet corn 180 @ £1 = £180
Damson plums 10kg @ £3 = £30
Leeks 100 = 25 kg @£2.75 = £ 69
Soft fruits/berries 5 kg @ £11 = £55
A few cabbages @£4

Total £1470 Unbelievable!!

Total weight is about 560kg!!!

Costs are difficult but about £20 on fertilizer, £40 on seed, £32 rent and a tenner on seed compost.. The rest was good old fashioned horse stable muck... fresh manure with loads of shavings and some grass.. and a bit of elbow grease to go with it!!
Now a member of the 10 Ton club.... 2013  harvested 588 Kg from 165 sq mt..

Last of the yellow wax french beansfrom my chance late sowing- will do that again, and some raspberrys.  Think I'll leave the swedes in a bit longer.  Getting excited about my PSB beginning to sprout now.

Dug up the last of my spuds, sarpo miras grown in an unweeded lazy bed. There are lots of hand sized spuds a few with warts but no worse than the rest of my spuds had. While digging them it was so easy to rake out the couch grass. if I have any grass left next year I'll be trying the same technique.

2 large patty pans
3 sweet dumpling squashes
hand full of runner beans
achocha
rocket, lettuce, nasturtiums leaves

2 yellow courgette - they seem to love the mild, moist weather this October. I find courgette to do well even if it is cloudy every day, as long as the temperatures are mild. I might be able to harvest a few more, even into November. That will be a first for me! :tongue2:
