I had some russet potato's getting sprouts so gave them to my buddy with a garden.
His Yukon Gold's are getting pretty good sized now as well as the red potato's.
I'm thinking tomorrow would be a good day to harvest the russets and get them hardened before hitting the road for the summer season.

I just boil them till cooked , cool down, peel then slice. I use a mandolin to keep thickness consistent. Lay in freeze dryer trays in single layer. Pre freeze then put them in the freeze dryer. Takes about 30 hours to dry.
I used to pickle them with recipe in canning book.

I googled the freeze dryer process. Interesting

Yesterday’s harvest was 3-4 dozen ears of sweet corn. Still a few more ears to come off before mowing down the stalks in preparation for planting next falls pumpkins.

Dang it, didnt' take pics, but I pulled the biggest onions I've ever grown to date and they would have got a whole lot bigger, but they had to be pulled as we are on the road again. Pretty much tennis ball size with the greens still healthy so I knew they would get bigger. Can't tell you the variety as it was at Attwood's on sale so picked up a bundle and put in some thick foam giant flower pots.
I'll try to take some pics when getting settled.

The key to big onions is variety and planting date. I would recommend a intermediate variety and planting late February or early March for your area. I've always gotten bigger onions planting in ground vs container.
