But I have to say your onions look fantastic and it's amazing the cool weather crops you were able to grow.

I've had my fill lately of "ribfests" in just about every city near me (all of which I took advantage of!).<br /><br />Really great looking onions - every time I see other gardeners onions, I think once more I must stop growing them because I am just not good at it. And then they slip into my garden again each spring! And I'm envious of the beets, haven't had many of those myself.Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354350096358468967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-25002349784800138732016-07-25T16:11:01.632-04:002016-07-25T16:11:01.632-04:00The napa & kohlrabi look great!

And many of my onions don't seem to be sizing up as well as yours - I've not had this issue before, so I'll have to do a bit of research on that.<br /><br />Your vacation on the Schooner Heritage looks awesome...have a wonderful time!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-90312092143458631052016-07-25T15:42:16.629-04:002016-07-25T15:42:16.629-04:00Reading about your drought conditions reminds me t...Reading about your drought conditions reminds me that 'hot and dry' is much worse than the 'hot and wet' conditions we have been having here. 12.5 inches in seven months is hard to imagine when you are used to more than twice that amount. I am amazed you still have Napa cabbage!<br /><br />You can guess the radish kimchi sounds delicious to me. I'll have to check out the Maangchi cookbook too. I just ordered a Tsukemono pickling book, so it looks like I will be busy trying some Japanese style pickling too.Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-34473578067676362632016-07-25T15:40:28.158-04:002016-07-25T15:40:28.158-04:00I hope the rain decides to come to your garden!

And I can confirm that the slugs and snails go into hiding when things dry out, I can't remember the last time I found a slug in my veggie garden and the only snails I find are native ones that don't do much damage. I'm going to have to look up Maangchi's book, it sounds interesting.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.com
