Onions and Garlic, ahoy!

We harvested our onions and garlic yesterday. It was very exciting and fun considering they are our two favorite ingredients in the kitchen. What smells better than sautéing garlic and onions in a little butter? Nothing.

Yellow Granex and White Contessa onions. Most of them planted 1/16/10

Our onions turned out nicely, but I think a fluffier soil mix may have yielded bigger results. Just a thought for next year. This year we planted Yellow Granex and White Contessa. Overall it seems that the yellow granex did better.

Garlic, planted last October.

Our garlic stash is making our garage smell very, very good. We planted three different varieties this year and were happiest with the purple variety.
