I keep a garden journal, recording planting dates, major weather events, the weight of (most of) what we harvest. It’s really motivating that my suburban backyard can produce more than 300 pounds of food! But I too lose motivation this time year. I think it’s normal — we’re meant to sit around knitting and telling each other stories in between feeding the critters and cooking this time of year!

300 pounds is impressive! Do you just use a kitchen scale to keep track?
Yep, just a regular kitchen scale.
