Growing Totals for 2013

Since I have some down time and the garden is covered with ice and snow and the kitchen renovations are taking all our project time I decided to total all harvests for 2013 to motivate myself for the new growing year.
Totals are in pounds or each, for larger individual picked items.
Here they are:
Apples 5 lbs.
Asparagus 15 1/2 lbs.
Acorn Squash 6 ea.
Beets 4 lbs.
Broccoli 2 lbs.
Butternut squash 8 ea.
Blackberries 1 3/4 lbs.
Carrots  3 lbs.
Cucumbers 30 ea.
Cantaloupe 1ea.
Cabbage 3 ea.
eggplant 4 ea.
Garlic Bulbs 24 ea.
Grapes 5 gallons
Honey Dew melon 2 ea.
Lettuce 13 1/2 lbs.
Onions 37 ea.
Pak Choy 4 lbs.
Potatoes 2 lbs.
Pea Pods 1 1/2 lbs.
Pumpkins 1 ea.
Peppers 84 ea. asst. sweet, banana and jalapeno
Peaches 13 ea.
Spinach 20 lbs.
Swiss Chard 21 3/4 lbs.
Strawberries 3 3/4 lbs.
Snake beans 2 1/2 lbs.
Tomatillos 56 ea.
Tomatoes 151 lbs.
Watermelon 7 ea.
Yellow squash 8 ea.
Zucchini 72 lbs.
Some notes for this year: planted the green beans too late and didn't flower.  Squash bugs ruined the pumpkins and killed off the squash too early.  Even though we got more than enough zucchini, the yellow, winter and pumpkins didn't do well.
Carrots and beets were not planted early enough either. The heat of summer was too much for them.
Overall the tomatoes were outstanding.
Fruit trees while all young are looking good. Have to keep watch on them to make sure they grow to maturity.
All -in all not to shabby!
