*heart* onions

I was downstairs cleaning up red onions yesterday.  As each of these little gems passed through my hands, I couldn't stop marveling at how gorgeously they caught the light.  Then I started to think about how some of them were almost heart shaped, and what a sweet thing for someone's sweetheart!  Just as is or perhaps sliced thinly with local greens, and maybe some orange wedges.  
We'll have those red onions in abundance this Saturday at the Farmers' Market in Exeter!  We'll also have the yellow onions, red potatoes, yellow skinned  potatoes, and turnips.  This could be the winter carrots' swan song, so snatch them up while you can.

onion harvest

On the eve of the fall equinox, one thing is for sure as we begin to close down the season: we've got onions. Lots of 'em. With more than a little help from Kate and Bridget (our intrepid farm crew) we've just brought what will be the most onions we've ever grown! It's very exciting to see all that work really pay off.

Whew! Now we can focus our attention on getting in the rest of the potatoes, fall carrots, turnips, and maybe even some beets & beans!
