    Let’s round up to an even 1,000 pounds. I was low last time and regret underestimating PTF… Never again.

  8. Susy on September 5th, 2008 6:34 pm

    I’m thinking around 922 (I hope it’s more than that though!). It would take me years to get to that amount.

    My guess for the August Tally Hoe contest is 1898 pounds. High, I know, but in order to get to those 10,000 pounds, you’d have to reach that.

    Of course my guilt at such a low guess is compensated for by my belief in my hunch. :)
