Weekly harvest report. Week 11 of 2019.
Each week I like to share my weekly harvest report. Reporting what I have harvested over the last week and how much that would have cost from a shop.
This weeks harvest
This week we have harvested the following
- 14 chicken eggs which would have cost us £3.50 from a shop.
- 500g chard which would have cost us £3.00 from a shop.
- 1 cabbage which would have cost us 79p from a shop.
- 500g rhubarb which would have cost us £3.00 from a shop.
- A selection of herbs and salad leaves. We allow £1 for this.
This weeks total value is £11.29. The value slowly starting to creep up I'm pleased to see. The fresh food is also very welcome to receive too although this week I have harvested my last cabbage.
This also brings the total value for the year to £81.15
This weeks spenditure
This week I have bought a few items as follows
- £2.00 on a few packets of seeds
- £49.99 on a solar powered watering system. However I used some garden vouchers for this and therefor only spent £14.99.
This week I have spent £16.99 on my gardening. This brings the total for the year to £141.99
What have you harvested this week? let me know in the comments or Email me here.
Didn’t you just buy a vegepod Richard? It’s great that your harvests are picking up, even better that you are tracking your costs and harvests, so few people are doing this and it’s a very useful service for new gardeners to get a sense of what can be achieved! I’m so in awe of those chickens, what an output!
Yes the vegepod is going in its own little section due to the grow off competition we are holding. All will be explained in tonight’s podcast
I agree its a great idea to keep track of costs I didn’t quiet realise how popular these posts would prove and its inspired from your good self.
The chickens have been a consistent supply of food all year round and we haven’t bought any eggs since we got them. They really earn there keep.
