I just started removing my onions from the totes they grew in and I am now beginning to dry them out. The plants were beginning to fall over and this is the sign that it is time for them to be removed and placed in a hot sunny spot to dry out. (more…)
Today I thought was a great time to finally take out the onions from the totes and set them aside to let them dry. My onions stems had fallen down a couple of weeks ago and it was good to get them out of the soil as quickly as possible.
I could have taken them out a while ago, but I had been busy with weeding the garden, tying tomatoes, getting beans climbing, and much more. I had some free time this afternoon and thought it would be great to get these bulbs out of the ground. (more…)
Yesterday I was able to get the entire onion harvest completed. It doesn’t take long to take out onions once you get started it goes very quickly. All I do is pull them out and brush off all the loose dirt and place them in a large container. Since I have five totes full of onions a small bucket will fill up very fast.
In total I was able to get over 30 pounds of onions and a count of 95. It seems like placing twenty bulbs in the beginning is the right amount you can place in these size totes. (more…)
