First Harvest

one of the nice things about planting two big packages of onion sets is that you can start "harvesting" little green onions early on

and its actually a good thing for the plants to thin them out and let the ones that remain in the ground get bigger for the next harvest

last night I was doing a stir fry, and needed a few

you can tell by the picture that we planted both red and yellow sets (and no I didn't put them in separate rows -- they're just all in there together)

these were quite tasty -- and because I know what the soil was they were planted in and what the water source is that has watered them I wouldn't be afraid to eat them raw if I wanted to drop some in a salad -- if you're wondering why there is an uptick in people doing "urban homesteading" the recent food born illness in Europe should give you some clue

and as I look at this photo on the blog I can see that this would be something to consider as a piece to be turned into a quilted multi media piece --- hmmmmm, think the photo file needs to get saved as possible inspiration

this morning it is cool and cloudy -- mowing the front yard will not be as hard as I thought it would be -- yippee

and I'm hoping to get it done quickly so I can get some work done in the studio before I head off to my quilt guild meeting this evening

onward!
