We had two goals today after delivery. One was to thresh the seed from the beet plants we pulled out of the ground and spread on tarps last week and the other was to get space cleared out/cleaned up to start receiving onions. The onions started falling over here and there a week or so ago but in the past couple days a lot of them have fallen. Everyday I marvel at how quickly time passes.

| I took this picture about a week and half ago when they where just starting to fall. Once an onion's neck goes soft and the top falls over it is done growing. There was a point in the spring when we thought we may have lost all our onion seedlings and we thought it might be too late to start new ones. I am ecstatic with how great they look. |

| As seed growing newbies we don't have a lot of fancy equipment or a definite plan for how to accomplish the threshing but we made do and it went pretty well. |
Lettuce
Carrots - Purple Haze
Broccoli
Cabbage
Cherry Tomatoes

The beets took a while(most things take longer than we think they will) so I am off to join Kelly to make some space in our blue metal building for the onions. Hope you all had a great weekend.
