I harvested my Copra onions on Tuesday and the Walla Walla onions on Wednesday. Both days were at 100 degrees. Good thing I love hot weather. This picture is of the Copra onions.
Here is the biggest two.
Good crop of Walla Wallas.
Bigger than a baseball.
After harvest.
This picture was taken on April 9, as soon as the soil could be worked in the spring. No asparagus had yet reached the surface.
On June 27, after harvesting over 40 lbs of asparagus and making a few laps around the edge of the bed with a hoe, I have quit harvesting.
The first two cabbage plants of the 2011 season.
Harvested.
After two inches of rain and a little sunshine this is a good time for a tour of part of my garden. This is what the 472 onions look like now.
Lima beans are next to the onions. Carrots and beets to the right. Had beets for supper last night.
Then seven brussels sprouts, Nevada type batavia lettuce, and 12 sweet potatoes on the mound.
Peas on the edge.
Amy's cabbage and four of my stonehead cabbage.
Tomatoes are now mulched and caged.
I planted about 20 flat leaf parsley seeds under an 8 inch long 2X4. Parsley seeds are very slow to germinate. Keep them moist and have a little patience. I then slowly thinned them to these two
I then transplanted them with a bulb planter. They don't like to be transplanted but this method works quite well.
Fifty years ago today I enlisted in the United States Navy. Here I am in San Diego.
This photo was taken by me of the fantail of the USS Little Rock in Malta
