What 86 families grew this summer
Tomatoes, squash, a lot of kale, and one enormous pumpkin.
This summer our 86 garden families harvested 4,100 pounds of produce. About a third went straight to the pantry shelves, usually the same morning it was picked.
The top five
- Tomatoes: 1,200 pounds.
- Summer squash: 640 pounds.
- Kale: 510 pounds, and counting.
- Peppers: 380 pounds.
- Herbs: more basil than anyone could use.
The record goes to the Nguyen family's pumpkin, which took three volunteers and a wheelbarrow to move.
