I am doing this with other folks at a different spot and thought it might be fun to bring it to the main board as well, clearly you want to take you photos ideally, so that your land/property will not be identified..
So take a photo of your gardens from the same spot once a month though the growing season and then at the end of the year, give a general idea of how many pounds of product you got in harvest.. approx. is fine! Take a bet at what you expect or hope your gardens will produce for you 🙂
Here are my four vantage points.. Half of the main garden (the other half is back and behind, the experimental round bale garden, the meadow garden, and the squash garden.. March 15th.. my min goals for the gardens this year is 3 tons of people quality/harvest, dry and or can/ freeze products, with a min of two ton for critter use.. I would like to get 5 tons for people and 3 tons for critters, and I want to can a min of a thousand jars this year, but 1500 would be better..

I absolutely love this idea farmgal! My family is in the process of selling our urban home to move to a small hobby farm this summer! So I guess we could join in next year!
All I have been able to plant this year in small raised garden beds are: lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers and one pumpkin. Haha! I bet the realtor and their home stagers will tell us to put flowers instead... not going to happen though!
I can't wait to see this post take off! I would really love to learn from all of the gardeners here! 🙂 So excited for you!
Thanks for the nudge, I am behind, I have photo's from last month and It won't be long before the next ones will need to be taken..

Now, lets break that big main garden down a bit.. remember this was photos taken a month ago, and I will take photos again on the 15th of this month.

So anyone else going to start taking photos of their gardens! Do folks want me to say what is growing in each photo on the next round or is that not of interest, I will point out that there is still more planting going in and I will continue to pull, and replant all summer long, also if you expect a picture perfect garden, I will just warn that it will not happen LOL

Wow! Great job farmgal! I would love to know what you've got growing! Also, how long do you keep the hay on top?
Thanks so much for sharing!
P.S.
Perfection is subjective! Your garden looks amazing! 🙂
