Veggie 2014 Show Reel

I repurposed the seminal [D3 Show Reel] (/mbostock/1256572).
Also co-opted d3.legend.js // (C) 2012 ziggy.jonsson.nyc@gmail.com

I estimated weights until June then began weighing in oz. Date Range is Mar 16, 2014 through Dec 31, 2014. Prices were guaged using Farmer's market, Alfalfa's and King Soopers. It was difficult to determine which indices to use. Prices change over the summer. An example is heirloom tomatoes where we see $2.99-$5.99/pound depending on month and location. I chose the farmer's market prices in many cases. Suprisingly, they turned out to be the most economical and seemed valid markers. Prices for items not in stores are made-up.

Show Reel is a view my 2014 garden. I'm a High Plains gardener in Boulder, Colorado. We get only 20 inches of rain per year. I have a fully irrigated 9 bed garden on the east side of my south facing house. This is garden number fourteen for me. My first in 2001 was in Lafayette, Colorado. I planted in Lafayette in 2011 and moved to Boulder. I harvested a late season container salad garden in 2011. Since 2011 I've been building out this new patch. Seed sewing and growing log found at PoppySeed. Garden-of-eatin has limited posting record of the gardens since 2004. I'm a reticent blogger at best, but a 2014 review is in progress.
