Since we planted our potatoes early, we had to harvest them early. We've been eating them for the last 6 weeks or so and they're delicious! Norland Reds in all sizes.
Last week, between busy times of prenatals and a very long labor, the second week of S in school (Girl Scout shenanigans and local theater stuff), oh, and plenty of sleep deprivation, we managed to get to our favorite farm folks in Sumpter. We bought two bushel baskets of enormous yellow storage onions for $8 a bushel. The kind lady also gave us around a dozen extra onions that were a little soft, to be used soon. We also bought 3 crates of potatoes-- two for $15 a piece. and one of small potatoes (to be used sooner) for $5.
So our little root cellar is starting to fill up a bit.
All those puny "onions" on the screen are drying. Those are the ones I toppled too soon in the garden. My little shallots.
I've just finished canning 4 little jars of pear butter and I'm waiting on 3 loaves of bread to finish up in the oven. Hurray for cooler weather and much needed rain here in Ypsiville! Tomorrow's high: only 63! Woo-hoo!
Found this lovely blog, A Year in Bread. Check it out, it's great.
