    Default How much to grow

    I found this in my garden journal and thought you might be interested.
    This is how much you need to grow for a family of four. This is to keep in a root cellar.

    Beets: 1-2 bushels
    Carrots: 2-3 bushels
    Cabbage: about 30 heads
    Brussels sprouts: about 10-15 plants in garden
    Chinese cabbage: 20-30 heads
    Celery: 10-20 stalks
    Turnips or rutabagas: about 1 bushel of each
    Potatoes: 6-14 bushels
    Sweet potatoes: 2 bushels
    Endive: 10-20 plants for storage, more in the row for late fall
    Squash and pumpkins: 30-40
    Onions: 1-2 bushels
    Parsnips: 1-2 bushels
    Salsify: 1/2 - 1 bushel
    Leeks: 15-40 plants
    Celeriac: 1/2-1 bushel
    Kale: 50-100 foot row
    Winter radishes: 1/2-1 bushel
    Kohlarabi: 1/2 - 1 bushel
    Garlic 1/2 peck

    How much is a bushel of beets? Like, how many feet is that?

    Do you mean 30-40 pumpkins or 30-40 plants?
    Life's tough but it's tougher if you're stupid.
