Coming Up: Onions

Mmmm . . . . just look at these onions! This morning, Farm Director Ben Penner forwarded this photo to us, wondering if anyone remembers the March 8 farm training, during which folks helped start tiny onion seeds in soil blocks.

If you attended that meeting, you planted these gorgeous onion rows! Don’t they look delicious?
These onions also look well weeded, an ongoing job for Ben, Sam, our farm intern, and volunteers. If you have time to help out, please sign up for a shift.
