I had to laugh this afternoon.
I went down cellar to check on the onions the kids were supposed to pick, wash, and lay out to dry.
We planted roughly 600 onion sets in the spring.
Sitting on the tarp in the basement were about 10-15 pounds of onions.
I started to get irritated, figuring they had shammed out of finishing the job. When I went out to check the garden, however, I had to laugh. They had, indeed, picked all but a few of the onions. Where did the rest go?
Well, when you've canned 80 or so quarts of stewed tomatoes, 28 pints of salsa, 30 pints of chutney, and numerous pints of pickles, you kinda go through a few onions.
