Thank you for the onion advice. My Ailsa Craig's and Walla Walla's got good
attention and am harvesting now. It is the fall storage onions that got
neglected. I like the idea of cutting the weeds low, and sent a helper to do
that today. The soil was so wet that the grasses pulled the grasses up
easily, so that experiment didn't happen. We got rained out before finishing
the leeks, but things are looking up. I was so proud earlier of how good the
weed control was, until the rains came. I will remember your advices for
next year though. We also have finally put an Allis G together (supposed
restored, but we had to replace a broken rear axle, brake shoes, and other
little items - they meant painted, not restored), except for the electric
motor, so by next year should be more on top of things.

 

Oh, and it is getting dark earlier and this will be the second time in a
week I will get to bed around 10. Well, actually supper (roasted veggies) is
in the oven, but I think I'll skip them and have them for breakfast. Sleep
is good!
