Ornery Onion would like to announce. . .

the first onion harvest ever at the Jensen homestead.

Several months ago, starts were popped into an old Eastern European oblong wash basin filled with compost enriched potting mix and then they were ignored except for a drip system watering them automatically. The wash basin had a drain spout which kept them moist but not water logged.

The harvest of such beautiful onions brings tears to our eyes!

They now reside in the greenhouse for a week of drying out after which they will be taking turns gracing family dinners.

Yes, Ornery Onion is segregated on the back fence until he learns to be cheerful and full of gratitude!

Those taste amazing, but you can also taste them for days!
