Ripe and Ready?
May 16, 2025
Adventures in onions. Yanked these out of the ground.. but were they ready to be picked? Are they even scallions, or would they have become something else if left in the ground longer? Their stalks were like drumsticks, but they softened up after a bit of sauteing (imagine an accent mark over the e). I am lost when it comes to knowing when to pick anything that grows underground (onions of all stripes, garlic, carrots).
On the other hand, strawberries are easy: pick before the squirrels eat them.
And those flowers! Also from the garden, picked by Jim for Mother’s Day last week.
