Holy Onions Batman!

 We planted 3 and a half, 50 foot rows of onions,

with 4 rows of onions in each row.

That's a LOT of onions.

Some of them have flopped over,

which is the sign they are ready for harvest.

So...

today we harvested SOME.

(It didn't make a dent...)

There are a dozen or more zucchini in the 

bottom of the yellow milk crate.

Otherwise, it's alllllll onions.

When I got ready to leave to come 

home to teach tonight's class,

I hopped in my car 

and...

Oh my burning eyes!

Jim put them in the back of MY CAR!

(instead of the bed of his truck...)

Hahahahahahahaha!

I had to drive home with the back

windows open because WOW!

That is a lot of onions.

They are "Texas Yellow". 

So a pretty good size for a regular

yellow onion.

I did pick a few red onions, but

we didn't plant a gazillion of those

and they weren't ready yet.

We kept expecting them to be HUGE,

but last year we planted Walla Walla and

they get to be monsters.

These are much more reasonable sized.

(Most people don't need / want a HUGE onion.)

Anyhow.

Jim and Sabrina are all ready to head into

Hays to the farmers market in the morning.

But tonight there is a drive-in movie!

(A group has been working on building a

drive-in for about 2 years now, tonight they

are showing Smokey and the Bandit

as a fund raiser to get more of the 

infrastructure built.)

Sounded like fun!

So they went to the movie.

I'll put the finishing touches on the stuff

they need for the market tomorrow.

Wish I could go, but I'm teaching this weekend.

Meanwhile, on the way home I glanced

down at my odometer.

Cool, eh?

And the new holly hock is finally in bloom.

The flowers are stark white!

So beautiful!

Ok, need to finish my paperwork for tomorrow's

class and then get the rest of the stuff 

gathered and organized for the market.

NITE ALL!
