Weekly harvest report
Each week I like to share my weekly harvest report. Sharing what I have harvested this week and seeing how much that would cost from a shop.
Weekly harvest report
This week we have harvested the following
- 4 chicken eggs which would have cost us £1 from a shop.
- 24 quail eggs which would have cost us £5.04 from a shop.
- 1 marrow which weighed 5.5kg which would have cost us £3 from a shop.
- 1.5kg tomatoes which would have cost us £4.25 from a shop.
- 3kg bramley cooking apples which would have cost us £5.55 from a shop.
- 1 corn on the cob which would have cost us 75p
- 1.5kg conference pears which would have cost us £3.69 from a shop.
- 2 small courgettes which would have cost us 80p from a shop.
- A selection of herbs and salad leaves as required. We allow £1 for these.
This weeks total
That brings this week's total value of harvest to £25.08.
Pretty happy with that result. I am also pleased to see that apples and pears are now on the list. I know there will be more to follow over the next few weeks.
Bear has also laid a few eggs this week. Her being on her own doesn't seem to have affected her in that department. The 2 new chickens are yet to lay but that will happen.

Great stuff again Steve. Really really impressive the amount of food you harvest each week. I love how much variation you get too. All the best Richard.
Bit late to the party but it was a good week here to. Got two marrows, handful of runner beans, couple more pumpkins, first decent sized carrots, sweet corn , 6 cucumbers and the normal tomatoes.
As a side note will you be planting any over winter broad beans Richard? And if so when?
A great harvest there Michael. That will certainly keep you going for a while.
I usually sow overwinter broad beans in November but this year I might sow them late October. Usually I sow them inside the potting shed and plant them out once hardened off but I will discuss this in a podcast.
