Well we had some extremely hot days mixed with cool nights and the onions bolted. This being the first year we’ve grown them I really wasnt sure what to expect but knew this was a bad sign. I pulled the rest of the onions up and was disappointed to say the least to see that they had not even doubled in size since being planted. First onion season was a failure but at least had some pretty flowers to enjoy.
The cucumber harvest has been plentiful…and relentless. Perfect! They were planted with the intention of making some homemade pickles before the end of summer.
These beauties are a pickling variety purchased from John Scheepers.
Renting a tractor is no cheap cost and maxing out the usage during the rental time requires multiple rentals, and a lot of money out of pocket! So we’ve started looking at purchasing a Kubota Tractor… we are checking tractor auctions, craigslist, ebay, new, and more!
