    Well I finally pulled my onions and what a crop. I chopped them all up, vacuum sealed them in bags of a little over four pounds, and put them in the freezer. Now we are fixed for onions for the years. At a minimum, I have 120 pounds of chopped and ready to use onions. A great haul for little effort. Check out the pictures below.

    Onions in the garden.


    My two garden helpers.


    Linda holding the largest one while recuperating.


    Yours truly holding a few.


    The largest one. 17 1/4", and it weighed 2.24 pounds after drying.


    The haul.


    Here are gallon bags of 4 pounds plus before I froze them and vacuum sealed them.

    Too many irons You cut the grass MAYBE once every other week and the rest of your time you're in Toledo Bend. I see where your priorities are

    Gene, do you keep some of those tops too? They're good in all sorts of things. Thanks for posting.

    Made a batch of Rotel from my tomatos and jalopenos I picked from the garden yesterday and ended up with 3 quarts, also put up 2 quarts of eggplant for caserol or dressing and made a quart of pico de gallo it was a busy afternoon. I wish you could smell that Rotel through the computer it made my mouth water.

    That Pico de gallo looks excellent. I do the same thing. Love it when it's fresh like that.

    Mike, how do you like those green eggplants. Is there much different taste than the dark ones.
