I'm up for a challenge! I have a tiny yard, but I can garden year round. I bet I have 100 lbs of oranges on one tree right now.

The Dervaes family grew over 7000 lbs. of produce on their 1/10th acre lot in 2010.

I'm hoping to get close to 1000 lbs.

All produce, fruits and veggies. Ready, set, go!

:lol:
I tried keeping a weight total last year. It got really hard though. I had some squash come in at 12 lbs each. It was crazy. Maybe this year I can keep better track.

Sounds like the Dervaes Family hit a new record. :clap

I think I might be able to give tamlynn some competition on the yield per acre. Like tam, I have a tiny space, but I have apple trees, a pear tree and grape vines :D

The amount of new vines last year was incredible. This year those vines will produce fruit. 2 years ago I got over 50lbs of grapes from one vine. GO AUDREY! (my seedless grapevine is named Audrey. My smaller concord grape vine is named Seymore :D )

Seymore is on the left. Audry is on the right. This picture is a couple of years old.
