Onions & garlic

I had already dug up all the red onions and the shallots and put them out to dry but now I have also pulled up all the yellow onions and the garlic.  It was a muddy job, in the rain, it will take a while to dry them out.  The onions were a bit disappointing: some of them had bolted at the beginning of the dry spell before we got our watering system sorted out.  The garlic was not bad though and we are already using to make tzatziki which we are putting in the freezer (to deal with the glut in cucumbers).

The other Rosendal fields (oats, barley) were being harvested today (difficult in the very wet ground) the forecast for next week is torrential rain.  All of a sudden it feels like November.
