Gardening Season 2023 - Onion and garlic harvest

in HiveGardenlast year

Hello Hive friends! Today was an onion and garlic harvest day for us so I thought I would share some photos I took.

This is the area where onions and garlic were planted. As the harvest is getting closer, we just leave the weeds and clean up afterwards. Clean area next to it is where snap peas was so together this will be left for cabbage.

Garlic! It always ends up in a hanging garlic wreath but unfortunately I forgot to take a photo of it.


Two almost full buckets of onion! This year's harvest wasn't as good as last year but it's not a surprise considering we had periods of heavy rains that left the ground soaked for a long time. With that, we did expect some damage to veggies like onion, garlic, potato... Since we use a lot of these veggies for cooking, after our stash runs out, we will definitely have to buy them from the store/market.

Onion is also left outside in the sun, in the evening it will be safely stored away in the shed just in case. Even though it's less than last season, considering the bad weather conditions we were facing this spring, this is still a good harvest, it could have been much worse.


I hope your gardening season is going well so far! :)
