Those all add a lot of weight. This year I've also added corn.<br /><br />I also grew pumpkins one of those high yield years, so hopefully the extra squash and the corn will make up for that lost weight. Hard telling. Berries are way down this year (so far)and I didn't plant nearly as much lettuce (bunny died). Last year, the bad year, I harvested 45 pounds of lettuce!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-51641472976526110122012-06-28T20:36:22.172-07:002012-06-28T20:36:22.172-07:00I was curious why there was a drastic reduction.
