Happy August 1st! We have all the onions out of the ground, washed, set in the sun for several days, braided and hung. Just in the nick of time! If they remain in the ground too long they begin to liquefy. Out of the 600 onion sets we planted, we harvested about 175 # of onions. About 160 of those are hanging in the tractor shed.

The few onions (if you consider 2 lbs to be "a few") that weren't fit to braid went toward making an onion quiche.

And yes, those are our VERY FIRST ripe tomatoes winking at you in the background. Update on the basement project coming soon!
