Fall Planting ~ Walking Onions

Hello and welcome back to my little spot on the web. I spent some time this morning working in the kitchen garden and wanted to share the fun with you. Last year I tore apart my garden and remade my raised beds. The bed that I was working in this morning was filled with used pine bedding from the rabbits. When I turned it over, it was teaming with worms and bugs. It is composting very well and since I always have a lot of extra Walking Onion sets, I figured that this would be a great place to plant them.

As for the onions bulbs that I dug and didn't replant, those came into the house, got cleaned up, and went into my breakfast. I make it a habit to eat two fresh eggs each morning. This morning I opted for poached eggs over fried onions and zucchini, garnished with cherry tomatoes, and topped with a dash of salt and pepper. Yum!!! What a great breakfast.

I hope you are having a lovely time in your garden as we head into cooler temperatures. Don't forget about extending your harvest with fall planting and season extenders, such as cold frames and row covers.



Here's a photo glimpse of the wonders that met me this morning:
