Onion harvest has begun!

Today was the beginning of the onion harvest.  When the tops of the onions start to die it is time to pull them.  A few varieties were ready--Candy, Superstar, and Red Candy Apple.  We pulled out the onions, cut off and discarded the tops, and left them on the plastic to dry in today's almost 100 degree heat.  Tomorrow we will put them into mesh bags for storage.

Onions that have been pulled out of the plastic, tops cut off, and laid out to dry in the sun.

Onion champs!

That's one nice onion, Alice!

This is Cole saying, "I hot."

Onion pickers.

Blueberry pie I made today.  The star crust was pretty fun to do.  Don't know how it tasted though, it was a gift for Dale Clapper as a thank you for his help picking blueberries last week.
