A couple of them with flowers have bolted. When the tops fall over they're pretty much done growing. My onions didn't do much this year either. I planted some from sets I bought and some from seeds I started. I'm not using sets again as most of the ones I planted from sets bolted. The same thing happened last year so from now on I'm just starting from seed in trays during the winter.

I've transplanted a few more tomato and pepper plants at the riverhouse garden. Also the latest round of cukes and spaghetti squash. But I didn't have my camera. The butternut and acorn is just now sprouting.

This is from a few days ago.

Right now the okra is the star of the garden. The tomatoes were, but they are suffering from too much rain. At the sandhill garden I'm on a strict schedule of okra hoeing. It's one bowl smoked per two rows hoed. But I'm bad to get things backwards.

Harvest carefully to not damage the skin.
Dig it out carefully with a garden fork and pry then up from beneath the bulb. Don't pull out by the stalk. Shake off any dirt that comes away easily, don't wash them or go crazy removing the dirt.

If you have softneck you can braid them to hang, otherwise you can lay flat in a single layer on wire racks. Keep them out of the sun and air moving around them. I've read they cure better when the space gets hot (90+) but still has good air movement. * Edit* Cure for 3 weeks. Then clean up and store them

I'm sticking them in the shed on that rack with the cover removed and fans blowing.
