The Garden Chronicles

The onions have been curing for about a month on a tarp in the machine shed.  Today I knocked the dirt off along with a layer of onion skin, snipped-off the shriveled tops and put them into cold storage in the garage adult beverage fridge.  They'll keep for more than a year under these circumstances.

The 2017 crop was much diminished as a consequence of rot.  I chalk it up to the cold and very wet conditions in the months leading up to harvest.

In other news I still have some Bibb lettuce that is holding-up nicely to the colder conditions.  The carrots are still in the ground as they'll sweeten-up a bit as the days grow shorter and colder.  However someone has been visiting after dark and browsing the carrot tops.

Yup, you guessed it.  

Gonna fix that problem before too long.
