Some Stuttgarter cooking onions, put aside for winter. Didn’t do much harvest saving this year, an assortment of winter squash and small pumpkins, a couple of bushels of potatoes, the same for carrots, about 30lbs of spinach, frozen, and…a bushel or so of onions.

Pulling onionsStarted the full onion harvest today. This is about half the crop, pulled…
SO,
how did your onions keep?
I just went through your year 2006 records. Very nice to see. I was raised on a small 180 acre farm with about 10 beef cattle and a few milkers. Our gardening totaled about 2 acres max, and it was all care for (weeded and hilled) by hand. We had a fire pump down at the pond and it had enough pressure to water the whole garden. We bailed about 1000-1500 bails, Thrashed grain with a belt driven thrasher. The 5′ mower that you sat on was replaced with a 7′ pto mower on the 3pth (very happy about that). Potatoes were usually the only thing we sold. Lots of other things were given away, the rest went into our underground root cellar.
We sold the farm 3 yrs ago… I miss it alot.
