About
The status and productivity of Lisa Lendway's vegetable garden, documenting activities and outcomes from the summers of 2020 and 2021. This material was developed for teaching an Introduction to Data Science course and contains detailed records related to planting, harvesting, and spending. It allows users to study the progression of the garden year-over-year, including what was planted, how much was harvested, and the associated costs.
Columns
The dataset is split across several files detailing planting, harvesting, and spending. For example, the
harvest_2020.csv file contains 5 columns across 781 records:- vegetable: The type of vegetable planted, with 31 unique types, such as tomatoes (34%) and lettuce (9%).
- variety: The specific variety of the vegetable planted, often derived from seed package information, with 64 unique entries.
- date: The date the vegetable was harvested, spanning from 6 June 2020 to 18 October 2020.
- weight: The harvested weight measured in grams. Values range from 2 to 7,350 grams, with an average weight of 553 grams.
- units: The unit of measurement for the weight, which is consistently "grams." Other files include details such as the plot label, the number_seeds_planted (which may be an exact count or a guess), a logical flag (number_seeds_exact) indicating precision, the brand of the seed/plant (in spending files), and the price both raw and price_with_tax.
Distribution
The material is distributed in several CSV files, including
planting_2020.csv, planting_2021.csv, harvest_2020.csv (32.36 kB, 781 records), harvest_2021.csv, spending_2020.csv, and spending_2021.csv. Key records like vegetable, variety, date, and weight in the harvest files are 100% valid. The expected update frequency is Never.Usage
This resource is suitable for educational purposes, particularly for illustrating data science concepts and techniques using real-world garden data. It can be used for time-series analysis of harvesting productivity, comparative analysis between two growing seasons (2020 vs. 2021), and studying expenditure versus yield. Researchers can also investigate the effectiveness of different planting varieties or seed sources.
Coverage
The geographic scope is limited to Lisa Lendway's personal vegetable garden. The temporal scope covers the summer growing seasons of 2020 and 2021. The content details agricultural activities, including specific vegetable types, planting dates, harvest weights, and monetary spending associated with the garden.
