Growing results and crops · GR-02
A free printable harvest tally — crop, variety, date picked, weight or count, running total, condition and where it went, in whatever unit you choose.
One page. Choose your paper size — both versions are laid out identically, so neither one gets shrunk to fit.

The fillable versions have real form fields — open them in any PDF reader, type into them and save. Printing help.
Turn a season of odd handfuls and full trugs into one running total per crop, so next year's planting is decided by what the plot produced rather than by memory.
Allotment holders, kitchen gardeners, smallholders and anyone comparing one growing season with the last.
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: A running tally of what actually came off the plot — crop, date, weight or count, and where it went. The season's total is the line nobody can remember by November.
Write your unit at the top and keep to it. This sheet is unit-neutral: no weights and no units are printed on it. Decide what you are counting in — kilograms, pounds, grams, ounces, punnets, trugs or simply number of fruit — write it at the top, and keep to it all season. A running total made of mixed units tells you nothing.
Write-on lines: Garden, plot or allotment · Season or year · Kept by · Unit used on this sheet · Scales or method used · Sheet no.
Table, 12 rows: Crop · Variety · Picked · Weight or count · Unit · Running total · Condition or grade · Destination
Because growers weigh in kilograms, in pounds, in grams and in punnets, and some count fruit rather than weigh it. The sheet has a box at the top for the unit you chose and a unit column on every line, so a sheet filled in honestly still adds up.
Not necessarily. A count is a perfectly good measure for beans, cucumbers or eggs off the plot, and a consistent count is more useful than an inconsistent weight. The sheet asks you to record the method so that next year's figures can be compared with this year's.

Plan a growing year on one page using the sowing times that apply where you garden, rather than a calendar printed for somebody else's climate.
Get the plot down on paper to a consistent scale, so bed lengths, seed quantities and next year's rotation can be worked out in the warm.
See at a glance what has fallen below the level you want to keep, so staples get reordered before a recipe stops and duplicates stop accumulating behind them.
The same subject, with a version you can fill in on screen.
Total weight and count harvested over the season, added up for you.
