I try to share this everywhere for gardeners to know how much to plant, to feed you for a year. This is just a guideline and can be adjusted to fit your needs. If you don't like or eat something, then don't plant any. If you only eat it once in awhile, then plant a smaller number, or if it's something you eat often and go thru alot of it, then plant more. Especially things like tomatoes, if you make your own sauce, diced, salsa, marinara, ketchup, bbq sauce, etc. But this list is a good starting point.
I had originally gotten the list from a website Well Fed Homestead, that I had trouble accessing now. Good thing I had it saved.
