The Garden


Just a little sampling of what we picked today. It's wonderful starting to see the reward of all our hard work. I believe there is more than a years worth of onions still in the ground. I will slice most of them and freeze them. We don't have a cool dry place to keep them for long periods of time so freezing them seems to be our best answer along with dehydrating some. We feel so blessed by what we were able to pick tonight.

Hi Patty,
Just wondering how you use your sliced onions you freeze? Are they good when thawed sliced like that for hamburgs on buns? I have diced and froze them and used in soups but wondering other possibilities. Thanks for your help. Nancy
hi - I had the same thoughts as Nancy posted. Are the onions mushy when you defrost them? what form do you dehydrate them in (rings, diced?). I am in the San Antonio area and a neighbor behind me says they hang them outside and they are fine when they want to eat one later - I just can't imagine they would be "fine" with the heat we have. I grew up in the Midwest and things were always fine int he basement, but not here with this heat. Just looking for info and advice! thanks Emily

I three about the freezing onions... Beautiful crops.
Emily-really hang them outside in San Antone, that seems kinda weird with our Texas heat but I supoose it is less humid there then over here by me. If we hang stuff outside for too long it starts to dip and grow a fuzzy sweater.

Just beautiful! I can hardly wait for our garden to be producing. It will be awhile since most things are just being planted now as seedlings and seeds. I will still have to cover tomatoes and peppers any time frost threatens...which can be through June some years!
I love to plant alot of onions too..and I am still using the last of ours from last years garden. I freeze some too...so useful! I always chop mine before freezing..this year I want to dehydrate some too...so handy!
Have a great week!
