    Ain't it funny how those onions keep growing after harvest!!? Very nice harvest there, my friend! You've about got me leaning toward overwintering some again for those huge bulbs. It's been about 5 or 6 years since I last got bit by the deep freeze and lost a crop, and the pain has subsided somewhat! I can get decent sized bulbs with plants in January, but not as big as overwintering. I see those blackberries blooming away too!!

      A little Agribon can solve that fear of losing onions to the cold. Once you start overwintering again, you'll be glad you did.

    Good job on the celery! I think you'll have an outstanding result. The stalks will keep growing taller so you may need to hill a bit more. Next time you'll have to try the trench method. Just like the onions celery needs water during these last days.

    What do these onions taste like? You need to evaluate flavor, texture and how well they store. Just curious what your views on this are. Nice job on growing.

    • @LazyDogFarm
      @LazyDogFarm  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      In my opinion, onion taste is more a function of growing conditions than variety. Now some red onion varieties are spicier than others, but most of these sweet onions taste the same. I can't tell a difference, so that's why we mainly use size as the differentiating factor in performance. The more water your onions are giving in the bulbing process, the sweeter they'll be. The less water and more sulfur they're given, the more of that onion "bite" they'll have.

      @LazyDogFarm  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      These all taste pretty much the same. I've found onion taste has more to do with growing conditions than variety.

    When I heard the words Onions as big as a basketball I went into, as my only description, a Wide Awake Coma with a waking Dream, where I'm walking through the Land of Milk and Honey where Golden Paths were lined with golden-yellow Onions the size of my head as far as I could see that was shaded by willow tree like towering Okry Plants where the Okry was hanging down like grapes there for you to pick. If I had not shaken myself out of it I could have been lost forever. We can dream can't we.

      @@LazyDogFarm Yeah- totally understand! One of the problems with onions is that if you wait until they are all ripe, then you have to figure out what to do with 300LBS of onions!!!!! So, I guess if one picks a few of them early . . . . . then you can stretch out the harvest.

    The carrots and onions are going to be my work in progress since they take more of my dedication during fall fertilizer schedule is hardest for me to maintain. I did get some pumpkin seed, just generic for now. I also ordered those garden tags and reorder on my Agrothrive. Great project for Agrothrive! I've got a big list of outside projects for this weekend since we have had a decent stretch of sunny dry weather. Thanks again for the link for those garden tags. Oh next year when/ you start pruning your fig trees do you plan to show that in a video? As of right now I've only obtained 2 varieties of the fig trees. (Brown turkey and geaux tigers LSU) Those are some huge onions. I wouldn't have any flack from any of my garden antics if I could show my husband I grew an onion the size you have!

    • @LazyDogFarm
      @LazyDogFarm  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you've got plenty of room for your fig tree to grow, I don't really think there's any reason to prune it. The only reason I ever prune mine is to either take cuttings for propagation or to keep limbs from hitting me in the face while cutting grass.

      @@LazyDogFarm yeah I think I want to get just 1 more fig tree. I'm eyeing the Celeste. Or whatever I don't have in the fig flavor profile wheel. I gotta see what trees I have that belong in which profile. I will want to prune for propagation though. I have a push weed eater to get between my trees if I can't get thru with l lawn mower. I thought that fig trees needed partial shade though.

    To be honest....I used to like and grow big Onions, but there always seems to be some of it leftover... nowadays, I prefer smaller onions (medium), and use two, if needed, and not have to wrap and save leftovers in fridge. They're also easier to slice.

    • @LazyDogFarm
      @LazyDogFarm  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree that the medium-sized onions are much more feasible in the kitchen. The huge ones can be difficult to cut, but they sure are fun to grow!
