Looking good Dave and by the way nice view..I have so much garlic growing on my place just got finished cutting most of it down. Guess I should dig some of it...
Thanks Roller.... It is a nice view.... some folks think it sucks but the rock formations really have more character than trees.... especially when I looked at trees for over 50 yrs..... Dig that garlic and process it..... I'll be doing that in about 2-3 weeks.....
Lookin good Dave!
Garlic, parsley, green onions I could do. But onions were beautiful only 1 out of 4 plantings. It always rained and rotted my onions and I sorta got tired of it. I never thought of it, it maybe why green onions are used to much in South Louisiana.

I live on high ground, like10" above sea level. My Uncle used tell everyone he was landing here below sea-level when he flew in.
The ground wasn't the real problem, it was usually one of those 20/30" rainfall months. You know the kind that even lays the corn down. Heck I can remember 19" rain days, I imagine there was worse, but the 19" I will always remember. I was driving thru it.
Actually growing here is getting harder and harder due to I assume the climate change, it is getting hotter and hotter. Cooks the gardens now in July and August. But we do get strawberries in November and February.
I didn't plant anything this summer. Its just too hot for the gardner anymore.

Evening...... I had to show that I did weed the onions... Yellow Spanish on the far end are really growing... I think they like growing here... In a few months I will know which variety to reorder for next year.... Looks like there is more weeding to do.... At least the alfalfa is done for now....
The little pockets, holes, indents by the first row on onions..... that's where the quail dust themselves.... wish they'd learn to weed.....
I've been looking at pics of all your gardens and they look wonderful.... Smoked grub, fresh garden veggies... don't get no better than that....

They are pets, sort of.... Interesting creatures to watch..... They have the cat buffaloed... and ignore the dog.....
ROFLMAO...... I am trying to train the doves here to do the same thing. I should get a return on that cracked corn they like so much.
We used to sit on the porch and "whistle" for the Bob-Whites (quail) and they would answer back. Good times!
Dave....I have never planted onions before....When am I supposed to "pull" them? How will I know when they are ready?

I bought my onions from Dixondale Farms and they have a great newsletter that I subscribe to.... A really good source of info.....
Basically, when you have 13 or so leaves, depends on variety, and the stalk starts to soften and fall over, they are mature..... Then they need to be dried in the shade with air circulation.. Leave them intact so there is more surface area to draw moisture from the bulb while drying... roots, leaves etc... Dave
I have a little over half a row of onions..I am the only one here that likes them..
Hybrid Patterson that I started from seeds..
Package sez ... pull when tops are falling and bulbs are developing shin...
We have a family of 6 doves that eat and bathe here..fairly comical to watch..they fight and chase each other..
The hawks love them...lost one baby last month and we saw a hawk today flying off with one..

Bummer.... those babies will be ALL YOURS.... sauteed and gently laid on a Q'd steak..... maybe with some oven roasted garlic...... UMMMMMM... good...
Looks great. I am right with you on the garlic. I do several varieties and then use them where they go best. My wife just shakes her head at me saying "Garlic is garlic." Thanks for selling the rest of the world on garlic that wasn't raised in China, refrigerated and then sent here on a slow boat to become less tasty and firm.

Stuff is growing and stuff is dying....
3 ears on one stalk.... several like that......
Bells finally.... 1st ones......
Grapes almost ready... but I'm eatin' 'em...
Most will go to the dehydrator for cookies...
The Santa Fe Grande chili's rotted off
at the ground.... the only chili variety that did...
I have no idea why that happened......
Been eating cukes and zuc's but you seen enough of them....

It is really good.... better than pickle relish....... She has made 10 pints
She also made shredded zucchini tots..... and baked in miniature cupcake pans....
