Recent plantings

Since the last time I listed the planting statistics, I've added.......

Potatoes - 15 grow boxes = 328 plants 
Tomatoes -20 plants 
Cucumbers - 18 plants
Summer squash - 8 plants
Lima beans - 40' row (6" plant spacing), plus 5 seeds of a local variety that I've never discovered the name for. 
Taro - 14 plants
Beans for seed production - 10 foot row
Winged beans - 15 plants (a Japanese variety) 
.
So year to date planting totals.......

Banana trees - 4
Beans for seed production - 10 foot row
Chaya - 32 cuttings
Cholesterol spinach - 400 square feet
Cucumbers - 18 plants
Lima beans - 40' row plus 5 individual seeds
Pineapples - 18
Pipinolas - 19
Potatoes - 328 plants
Summer squash - 8 plants
Taro - 30 plants
Tomatoes - 20 plants 
Winged beans - 15 plants

Just a note...... Keep in mind that not everything that gets planted actually becomes productive. Some plants die or grow stunted. Some get damaged by pests or disease. Some suffer from environmental damage, such as wind. Some get destroyed by a lose goat, a person stepping on them, etc. And some simply don't produce up to their potential. Thus I tend to plant excess and hope for the best.
