Do you remember the spaghetti squash I was so worried about last week? Well I’m happy to report Mr. Spaghetti is doing just fine thanks to all your comments on how to care for it.
The area Mr. & Mrs. Spaghetti and the baby squash are growing has become a wee bit over run lately. This little plot of land was a total afterthought and was filled with whatever random plants I had left over at the time. It’s definitely not OCD friendly that’s for sure. It was filled with leftover onion bulbs, squash seeds, and celery, and this morning I decided it was time to spruce it up a bit.
The onions had been begging to be pulled for the last few weeks and some were even starting to go to seed. So this morning I went ahead and cleared out the mini garden and harvested all the onions in one big swoop.
If you grew up in Washington State, then you probably already know, Walla Walla onions are the best onions on the planet
Here are all the onions I was able to harvest from that one little plot. Holy canolies. Looks like French onion soup is on the menu real soon.
Now the question is… What should I plant in this space next?
I’m thinking maybe radishes? But then again, kale does grow all winter long.

Wow, that’s a lot of onions! Could you plant both?
Andrea says
Yum! What I would do to get ahold of a fresh walla walla sweet onion. I have not had one in over 10 years 🙁
Mavis says
So very sad. 🙁
deana says
how about carrots? do they do good in your area? And I don’t think they take up a lot of room do they? Radishes are a good idea, peppers, garlic are some other ideas.
Mavis says
Carrots do great up here. 🙂

How do you store your onions? Do you keep them all winter?

I have to agree with planting more kale. It will grow all year and add to your harvest weight totals. I freeze it in smaller bags and then sneak it into winter soups and casseroles. You can even use it as a substitute for spinach (think spinach and cheese ravioli, lasagne, etc.- just use a little more cheese). I also feed it to the chickens in winter to help make their yolks a darker gold color. Kale is not my favorite either, but it’s a dependable producer and will keep you in greens all winter long.
