Complete Onion Harvest and More Tomatoes
Last updated onYesterday 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.
These are the onions I pulled out yesterday.
They were all about the size of my hand. This year they grew much bigger than last year. The previous season I got about 200 onions and about 34 pounds. As you can see this year I focused on quality rather than quantity and I was able to achieve that goal.
Once I picked them I then braided them together so that they are easier to store and use for future use.
Today I saw that blueberries were ready for some more picking. I will note that not many of the bushes have many of these berries left. There is only one bush that has a significant amount that I could probably do another harvest and that will be it for the season. Two and a half pounds was picked.
I also was able to get another steakhouse tomato and some cherry tomatoes as well. The cherry ones are doing real good and so are the steakhouse ones. I am looking forward to picking Roma tomatoes so that I can start using them for sauce making. This is the main reason that I grow these specific plants.
Here is a mix of tomatoes and a cucumber that I picked this morning.
