I've decided that next year I need to look into getting a scale. I do have a food scale, but I believe it only goes up to 5 pounds. I would like to weigh my produce and try to see how much I am actually growing, and not only using, but sharing with friends and family. I have sent off countless containers of tomatoes with DH for work snacks, brought them to knitting group and have had them at home, plus I also dehydrated some as well. OH, and our four-legged, Sylvester, has had more than his fair share as well.
These are Martino Plum tomatoes and Matt's Sweet Cherry tomatoes that I grew from seed this year under grow lights. It was relatively easy and enjoyable knowing that I could take this small seed and actually grow it INSIDE (I'm not a good inside plant person) and that I could get produce from it.
I would recommend to everyone, look at those catalogs and choose some seed to grow on your own. You not only save money, but you get such joy from knowing that it came to your table purely from your efforts.
If you look very closely at the lower right of the basket, you will also see a Sweet Cherry Pepper, also grown under lights from seed and planted out into the garden.
