I thought you guys might be interested in a link-up I am doing for home gardeners.  I'm planning to keep track of my garden's output this year and try to figure a comparative monetary value for my crops (even though we all know homegrown beats the pants off of store-bought veggies anyday!)

I'd like for folks to participate in the weigh-in, but you are also welcome to link up blog posts just showing off your garden and how it is doing at the moment if you have nothing ready to harvest yet.  If you don't blog, you can still participate in the weigh-in by leaving your numbers in the comments section.

We grow a big garden to can and preserve as much as we can to feed my family throughout the year.  I try to limit what I buy from the grocery store and we're striving to be a little more self-sufficient with each passing year.  I've been tracking my meatbirds and egg production for some time now and I thought it would be interesting to put a value to my fruit and veggie production too.

This link-up is for edible gardening (not flowers) and as long as you've put your own sweat equity into it, I'd love to hear how your garden is growing.  For the record, I don't make any profit off of my blog, nor do I have any business to promote.  This is strictly for fun and educational purposes and to promote community among fellow gardeners.

If you're interesting in weighing in with us, check it out here:  http://onesunnyacre.blogspot.c…..-in-1.html  We just started yesterday and this first weigh-in is open until next Monday. 

I would love to join the weigh in, but my garden produce won't be ready for harvest until probably end of August, and that would just be starting to harvest.

Weigh-in #2 is up now!   You don't have to have a blog to weigh in with us, and you can still link up a post with pics/update of your garden for that week, even if you are not in harvest mode yet.  I love "visiting" other folk's gardens and hope you guys can join in!
