The temperatures have been uncommonly cool this first week of August, and we have taken advantage of the comfortable working conditions. We harvested all of the garlic this week and have it safely curing in the red barn. We also harvested several onions this week which are curing in the white barn. The rest of the onions will be harvested next week with the help of a group of students from Barron, Wisconsin. To prepare for that, we knocked down the tops of the onions with rakes, which pinches the joint between the leaves and the bulb and seals the bulb to prevent rot. We also hand-weeded and hoed many beds. The photo below shows the garlic harvest.
