Onions Harvest June 19

[robby]

I plan to harvest the red onions tomorrow, and set them on screens in the garage to dry. The yellow onions seem to be maturing later, so I will bend down the stalks of the yellows and speed the process. Once I get all the onions harvested, I'll compost and till that bed and plant summer squash.

The dog is still spending most of his time indoors, but always follows me out, and is good about not walking in the vegetable garden. He has a new game where he'll do a total circuit of the yard, looking for lizards.

You bend down onion tops to finish them? I never heard of that method - I let mine go to the top-flop stage when they're ready. But recently I've been harvesting some of them early just because I want to free the space for other crops.
