This is my harvest of yellow onions on the Community Garden. I pulled them out of the ground because most were falling over. They are curing for a few days while the weather forecast is predicting warm and sunny.

Curiously, the red and white varieties are still growing and haven’t fallen over. Interesting.

I decided to fill in the trough these leeks were growing in. I think the trough is supposed to aid in blanching the bottom of the leek plant to provide a longer white stem, good for eating. These plants finally look healthy, after a rough start from an overgrown pot of seedlings that I rescued.
