Do you keep a produce list every year

I've been keeping an allotment journal since 2005 which is quite a shock since i did'nt realise that I had had the allotment that long!!  time flies when you are enjoying something.  I think its a great idea but would advise that you write it up straight away because you will never remember all the varieties etc. I also record what I've done on certain days and when veg has been sown - it becomes more useful as years go by.

Yes I walk in the door and weigh my fruit immediately. I have always had "issues" as my husband calls them. It's
So easy to forget how much we do take from these little patches of land, we looked back and said really did we have that many raspberries etc

I like to weigh my soft fruits, just to see what sort of yields I'm getting. And I'll weigh a giant pumpkin or squash (been a few years since I had a giant squash!  ).
I don't think about the money and savings - I figure I'm saving no matter what as I don't have to buy the fruit!

I weigh most of the tomatoes but that's about it.

Yes, I am going to do it, if only to justify buying so many packets of seeds. I've started to record how much I am saving by not buying flowers (I'm picking them from the garden) and I'm already over £35 since I started picking in April. I will say, my garden tulips are way more beautiful than anything found in supermarkets (hate those places!). I have a book that I am keeping as my allotment and garden diary so it will all go in there. Happy days   

Oh no!  :blink:
I don't mind mixing beans with different coloured flowers, and sometimes do the same with peas and sweet peas ( as long as I'm not seed saving) - but it would all be just tooooo random to mix them all together

I guess its more zen gardening :-)

I don't, I'm hopeless at recording things. I can remember what does well, am not worried about crop rotation as I basically work my way around the plot from one end to the other, then the other way round the next year. Email receipts for seeds show what I have purchased if I can't remember. Everything gets sowed / planted when I have time, normally late at the moment due to life's pressures.
