These are conservative planning estimates for a home garden in a maritime climate, using harvested weight (dry weight for beans, corn and grain). Soil, weather, variety and skill all move the real number. Treat the result as a starting point, not a guarantee. Leafy greens, tomatoes and other low-calorie crops aren’t listed here because they add flavor and nutrients rather than meaningful calories.
