Got my first harvest yesterday. 2 Zucchini and 5 peppers. Looking forward to the eggplant and the tomatoes!
Talk to me about curing onions. For the first time in my life, I'm getting big onions.
Grown in big insulated pots with potting soil.
I have to pick them in about 10 days, no matter the size. School me on the curing process. I've never heard of this variety and didn't save the tag. Bought at Attwoods.
They just need to dry out in the shade on a rack with airflow
For how long?
Until the tops dry and the outer layer is paper like.
Let the tops completely dry then you can cut the dry tops leaving a couple inches. It helps prevent bacteria from entering the onion by sealing it off. It's best if you can harvest with dry conditions. Do not wash the dirt off. You can shake the excess off the roots.
They may have to rest in a paper sack for a couple days after picking, but that shouldn't hurt.
If they don't sweat and start rot.
Our garden has been doing well. Getting lots of squash and zucchini. Tomatoes are coming along nicely. But we had some really bad hail here the other night and it beat our poor garden up bad.. darn oklahoma weather!
