Week 8 August 14th

Onions started coming in yesterday. We pull them and arrange them in the seedhouse to dry bottoms up. The seedhouse has a ventilation system that kicks on automatically at 75 degrees, but on these hot days it will stay over 100 degrees in there for the bulk of the day, and with the fans running allows for good curing. In a few weeks we will start slowly trimming off their stems and selling them at the farmers markets and offering them in the CSA. When the inside of the stems no longer have any moisture left we will trim up the rest for winter storage. Now starts the slow process of gathering all the food out of the fields and stockpiling for winter, while also still harvesting summer crops that are in full swing.
