I need a garden scale that I can hang from a hook. Preferably one that can withstand the weather. Perhaps I'll look for one soon. How do you manage to keep up with your totals, or are a lot of them just estimated at the end of the season?Monday, April 26, 2010
Lettuce Harvest Monday
The lettuce in the back bed is growing daily and looking great. Oddly, I've given away more of the lettuce than we've eaten, which means that I haven't kept up with any of the totals for the lettuce, spinach or onions.

I use my kitchen scale, so everything has to be brought in from the garden to be weighed. I wanted a hanging scale for outside, but the ones I found were too $$$$. I did find a fish weighing scale that could possibly hold a basket on a hook, but the cheap one didn't do ounces. I'm cheap ;-) Oh, I had to take my bathroom scale outside to weigh the pumpkins last year.
ReplyDeletePicture perfect. I'll have to enjoy them vicariously though you.
ReplyDeleteoooh an outdoor scale would be so retro-cool! can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteI always harvest and bring it into the kitchen to weigh. I do miss some and occasionally estimate it, but often just leave it out.
ReplyDeleteI think I might have too much lettuce to eat too. I'll send it over to a friend if I do.
Beautiful greens--and reds! When I have weighed, it's been on a kitchen scale. I don't have the time to weigh all the time, so I'm not recording online--just in my paper journal.
ReplyDeleteThose sure are pretty. I use a spring scale in my kitchen, so if I'm giving something away, I bring it through the kitchen and do a quick weigh. Then I write everything on the calendar, and update the blog from there whenever I get my act together. : ) Sometimes it can take quite a while. An outside scale and a sink would be quite nice. . .
ReplyDeleteBeautiful
ReplyDeleteIt must be wonderful to live in an area that you can garden almost year round.
I don't weigh, as I pick it and eat it. Planting enough to eat, rather than to share at the moment :(
ReplyDeleteI weigh in the kitchen after trimming, cleaning & drying. I use a digital shipping scale from ebay. It is such a pain and every year I say I not doing it again..... but it is nice to have some kind of measure of success
