ONIONS AND GARLIC, OH MY!

I find it hard to believe Big Guy planted his garlic and onions last Fall @carondeletgarden. We watched the raised beds over the winter hoping the bulbs would survive whatever old man winter would throw at them. We also watched in anxious flashes as our puppy decided the beds were fair game for running through as there were no “plants” in the way.

The good news is both survived, and we have a glorious crop. We have already earmarked the onions for another pot of Famous Barr’s onion soup and another batch of marinara sauce, because using fresh onion and garlic is beyond words.

I wish I had “smell-o-rama” so you could smell them as they came out of the ground. Big Guy has already tied them and hung them to properly dry for future use. It made the wait, and worries, worth it!
