Harvest Time?

OK, this week I finally learned how to compress my photos to make it easier for anyone on dial-up to upload my blog. YAY! (Seems like I would have learned that sooner since I'm married to a computer guy. **shrugs sheepishly**)



Here's my garden spot...or the start of it. I'll be laying out more cardboard to make it a bit bigger this afternoon or tomorrow. This year, I'm going to plant potatoes, maybe tomatoes, some lettuce of some kind and maybe some onions. Although, I may not need to plant the onions...



While hanging out in the yard with Muffin, I noticed the abundance of wild onions still growing. You'd think they wouldn't be around this time of year. Well, shows you how much I know. They're everywhere. So, I grabbed some...a January harvest of wild onions. Gonna use them tonight. YUMMY!

One thing I like about mowing the lawn...OK, the only thing I really like about mowing the lawn...is the smell from all the little onions that get mowed down. It just wafts everywhere.

If I'm getting a decent winter harvest of wild things now, maybe that's a good sign for whatever I do end up planting in the spring. One can always hope.

I just hope I'm not too late getting the cardboard down. I meant to do it about a month or so ago, just got busy with other things.

I cannot believe how many of those onions are growing out there. In January. Tonight they are going in with roasting potatoes. Next batch I'll try with eggs.
