For a family of six, you’d need to harvest:

40 lbs. of Spinach – That’s one 90 ft. row, three 30 ft. rows or six 15 ft. rows.  You’d need to freeze almost 80 of those little square packages.

40 lbs. of carrots – One 75 ft. row or three 25 ft. rows.  You’d need to succession plant (plant your seed every few weeks) in the spring and late summer.

48 lbs. of sweet potato – That’s one 80 ft. row, two 40 ft. rows or four 20 ft. rows.  You’d need to can 48 pint jars or 24 quart jars.

40 lbs. of winter squash (including pumpkin) – Thankfully, since winter squash is usually large, this will only require a 10 foot row.  Winter squash also keeps well (hence the name “winter squash”) so you might not need to do quite as much canning or freezing.  No one our forebears relied on this vegetable to get them through the winter months.

120 lbs. of tomato (whole) – One 100 ft. row (which is way too long for most gardens).  Break it down to five 20 ft. rows.  You’d need to can 60 quarts.

48 lbs. of peas – This would require you to plant 300 feet of rows!  That’s fifteen 20 foot rows.  Wow.  I’ve never managed that particular feat.  You’d need to freeze 24 two pound bags.

120 lbs. of green beans – That’s a 200 foot row, or ten 20 foot rows.  Who eats that many green beans?  You’d need to can 120 quart jars or freeze 60 two pound bags.

72 lbs. of sweet corn – Another 200 foot row, or ten 20 foot rows.  You’d need to can 36 quarts or freeze 18 two pound bags.
