63 Onions



I have been wanting to plant some onions for a while. My mom told me that she has bought them at Wal-Mart in the past and I found them there on Monday. They just came in a bunch. Anyway, Trent and Tyler helped me plant them. There ended up being a lot more than I really wanted, but we planted all 63 anyway. So come July (?) if anyone needs onions, you can have some. That is if they work. The boys also helped me plant some potatoes. I got the "seed" at Cal-Ranch (it really is just a potato with "eyes" on them). I hope they work too.


It was a way nice day on Monday (like 76) and over where my little garden is, it gets really HOT (I think because it is the south side of our house and the fence reflects light), anyway, I guess from bending over my shirt wasn’t covering my backside all the way and I got a little red strip of sun burn right above my pants, it was funny. I didn’t realize that my shirt was pulled up!
Kara loves this Old MacDonald book. She says E-I-E-I-O when she wants to read it.
I think it is funny that her baby is sitting by her on the bench. She put it there.

If you cook anything like me, you'll go through the onions in no time. I'm not sure how many I had last year, but they were gone by the end of the summer. I planted 150 this year so that won't happen again. They can store really well in your basement. I can give you more details about how to store them when I see you in a bit.

I think onions are the most disgusting thing ever. I can't believe you planted 63 of those horrible things.

Your garden looks fabulous! Mine is a tiny thing but someday I'll make a big one. Right now, it's my boys' play area until I fix their sandbox!

Did it take you forever to plant that many onions? I really want to do a garden next year so I'll have to call you on some advice if they work out :)
