Growing fruit even if it is a small amount is worth it! I’m so glad we grow some fruit because it has given me a good idea based on experience how much we would need if we were to grow a year’s supply. We grow strawberries, raspberries, apples, pears, watermelon, cantaloupe and as well as lemons.
We dedicate most of our garden space at this point to the vegetables because we are limited by the size of our yard.Įven though we don’t have lots of space, we are able to grow all of our own blackberries and most of our own blueberries. We haven’t attained 100% self-sufficiency on growing our own fruit yet. Which is a good thing but it also means we need to grow a lot. The consequence of that is anytime we get a sugar craving we reach for the fruit.
And that is a literal statement! I hardly ever buy processed sugary foods anymore. Everyone eats different amounts of each type of fruit because we all have our favorites, right? I have found very few resources about this and thought I would do my research and use some of my personal experience to create a guide to share with you.Īnytime I put out a chart with how much to grow, I need to also make a disclaimer: These numbers are just estimates. Some of you might be curious about how much to plant if you wanted to supply your family with a year’s supply of fruit. In fact, I did a blog post all about how much to grow for a year’s supply of vegetables HERE. When growing a year’s supply of food, most of the time we think of vegetables.
