Fruit: 2 lb, 7 oz (incomplete)
Eggs: 1262
What a year! I broke my record of 2023, which was 277 lb. However, I must state that some of 2023's veg wasn't recorded until 2024: of the more than 100 lb of squash (!!), around 82 lb of it was grown in 2023. We ate fresh squash every month of the year except August (and then we ate it from frozen!); we ate our last 2023 squash in July of 2024.
Other notable amounts: 26 lb of plum tomatoes and 20 lb of cherry tomatoes (unlike the previous year, almost every tomato ripened by the end of the season), 16 lb of beet roots (plus 12 lb more of the greens) and 15 lb of kohlrabi. I marked the total as incomplete as there are indeed some more squashes from 2024 to be weighed and eaten in 2025 (though probably not a full 82 lb).
Fruit was actually better than the previous year (though still rather sparse), but like most years I didn't record it faithfully, so the totals are similar. We had probably 20 lb at least of apples, plus a couple more lb of raspberries, but I only recorded a few ounces of the berries, few figs and one pear. I don't have a good method for recording fruit like I do vegetables, probably because I don't prepare fruit like vegetables (I weigh veg before cooking, but fruit rarely gets cooked in our house, just eaten).
Our newest adopted four hens, the Specklies, did us proud and really bulked up the egg production in the last year, more than double the previous. Sadly we've lost two of them this winter; as a high-production breed, they are also short-lived. Hopefully we can adopt another four to join our flock later in spring, when it warms up a little.
