    My guess is 709 lbs. But I hope I’m way wrong!

    How about growing some 1,000 lb pumpkins to boost your total? LOL.

  22. Sinfonian on October 6th, 2008 9:59 pm

    I am bad at this. I get close but never close enough. Now I’m feeling something in the 700 range. Let’s take a shot in the dark and say 715. And like others, I hope I’m laughably low.

    Thank you for all of your hard work informing all of us about your inspiring lives. I think that the September tally will be 627#. Low, but it has been a weird weather year. Even in Ohio.

  30. DiHickman on October 7th, 2008 5:16 pm

    Hmmm, , I’m hoping it’s more for your sakes but I know the weather affected my crops so …. 726 is my guess

    Okay,…..how about…….698.

    Hang in there everyone!!

  32. Kevbooner on October 8th, 2008 11:43 am

  33. yvonnes on October 8th, 2008 12:37 pm

    I guess you have harvested 580 pounds this month…..but hope it’s more!
    Tace care!
    Yvonne

  34. oohoo on October 9th, 2008 4:30 pm

    I am going to stick with the same number as the last couple of months….and hope the actual number is higher!

    My guess is 1,529 lbs.

    We haven’t tallied up our harvest for the year yet because we are still picking some late veggies…chard, cabbage, late lettuce, etc. and we haven’t dug all the potatoes yet.
    We are aiming for 1,000 lbs. I wish I had weighed the pumpkins and squash that the darn woodchuck destroyed!!!

    Oohoo

  35. Rox on October 10th, 2008 12:38 am

    My guess is 1,217 pounds

  36. bethanne on October 10th, 2008 7:55 pm

    My guess is 720 pounds.
