Hi!
I’m new to the forum and have been gardening all my life. I know the explanation is probably rather simple but for some reason I’m not getting it. I’ve only ever grown fruit, fruit trees and garden plants. When it says that FarmBot can provide vegetables each week for a family of four what does it mean exactly? For example, let’s say I grow artichoke, asparagus, lettuce, kale, broccoli and black beans, would any of these grow fast enough to be harvested each week and replanted/replenished? I am experienced with software and mechanical engineering but not with vegetable gardening so please excuse the novice question!
FarmBot =4.5 m 2
To get an idea. Translation of the french auto.
For a family in France for 4/5 person. Self sufficient
ml = linear meter
I’ll list my productions knowing that from one year to the next we can do or not do certain vegetables.

This list is not exhaustive and certainly forgot, this is only a draft that everyone can adapt to his garden.
For these plantations that are spread over the year from February until October for the sowing and planting the area used is around 120 m 2.
Most of the seedlings are made in** cash box, pots or nursery.**

@HDMaico: What does your unit ml = linear meter mean?
