Onions Anyone?

The harvest continues to be, well, you know, harvested.  Onion avalanche!

Two rows of Stuttgarter (from The Fatherland) yellow onions.


Dug them up with at pitchfork while the ground was soft from recent rains, Let them set for 24 hours to soak-up some sunshine then hauled them into the shed to finish curing.

They're going to rest on this tarp for several weeks to dry-out after which I'll knock the rest of the dirt-off and store them in the crisper of the three fridges.  Sure, I know what you're thinking - three refrigerators?  Yup, plenty of harvesting to go and I haven't yet killed any deer.  

At 40 degrees and high humidity those onions will keep for more than a year.  Plenty of extras to go to the church food pantry.
