We have finished the onion harvest and cured them in the sun. Last night B hung the ones we will keep in old pantyhose (very old as I have not worn pantyhose in at least 15 years) in the basement. Hanging them in pantyhose allows air circulation around them and they seem to last longer. The total tally for onions grown this year is over 300 pounds!
There is still a good bit of fall harvest to do around here. We have lots of pears that are starting to fall from the trees. I never have found a good way to preserve these so we usually just eat a few of them. Does anyone have any good ideas for things to do with pears?
We cut a few of the ripe pumpkins and put them on the back porch to keep the deer from eating them. I am hoping that the rain predicted for this weekend will come and help plump up some of the shriveled looking pumpkins we have in the patches.I do like the way this pumpkin grew sitting on the old water trough.
Our green beans are producing well now too. We pick them every other day for dinner.Our raspberries which did very well last year are slow to get started this year. I do hope we have enough for some raspberry ribbon pies before we get a hard frost.
