Fat Guy on a Little Bike

This will be my online location to track my harvests for the 2008 gardening season as they happen. This will include anything from my garden plot (approximately 450 square ft and a 1K sq ft garden plot) as well as some neighboring pear and apple trees that I’m allowed to pick.

I also plan to track my preservation efforts for the coming winter to see how I do. Most of my preserved food will end up coming from the farmer’s market.
