Last weekend, we blew it out of the park (a baseball term). We had help from Karen, my sister and her partner Sydney and Nate and Kyle and if course, Mom and Dad. We planted over 1800 dry onions---walla walla sweets, alyssa craig, early yellow, and some reds. Perfect planting weather--a little cloudy. And, then we planted hundreds of potatoes--thanks to Mom and Karen for cutting the potatoes up between their 'eyes'. The help was incredible and Mark is happy--we are only a week behind. (We are usually WAY behind). Best part--visiting with all of these family members and friends. Thankfully, my family prefers to work and talk rather than sit and talk.
The picture gives some idea of the process for planting onions. We poke holes in the soil about 6 inches apart, sprinkle with organic fertilizer (blood meal), then lay t-tape down--this is drip irrigation--the black tape in the picture. Then we plant the onion and bury and water.
