Janet Bachman at ATTRA put together this publication
that gets into planning & scheduling for havest.
Scheduling Vegetable Plantings for Continuous Harvest
ATTRA
http://attra.ncat.org/attra-pub/continuousharvest.html
http://www.attra.ncat.org/attra-pub/PDF/continuousharvest.pdf
But you have to get the print version, available by
request only, sent by postal mail.... because it has
the enclosures with tables and spreadsheets and
planning-for-CSA examples.
Do not reply to me with a request. Just use your fingers
to dial the number to ATTRA and "talk". 800-346-9140.
There are two record keeping systems for market
gardeners worth knowing about. They have a lot of
helpful scheduling-for-harvest data in the spreadsheets.

This morning I visited the garden at 1:30 a.m. with a flashlight.
It was interesting to see moisture beads covering every single
leaf, and flea beetles absent from the eggplant.

"Would like to know how a farmer comes up with the number of
"shares" to sell and how much of the product is given to each "share".
I checked out the CSA web site and I understand how the price
is figured per share, per season. I could'nt find anything on how
to gage portions or number of shares."
