Harvest basket



A harvest basket, in this case one full of shallots, multiplier onions and garlics.

Most of these will be kept for re-planting, although it's hard resisting the temptation to snitch some of the French gray shallots for the kitchen.

Community garden plot photo update

Here's a photo of one of my community garden plots; this was taken on April 17 of this year. Green is slowly covering the site. Flowering along the central path are parrot tulips and various ornamental onions. The onions are in general shorter than expected - this is no doubt due to the drought we are experiencing.

Compare this photo to the photo posted March 29: the lilies on the right are filling in nicely, too. On the left of the image are rows of multiplier onions, shallots and garlics.
