D.R.SHOOP: Triffidy Onions

As I wrote to our dear friend Robert Schneck – upon his pointing out how much our ‘Walking onions’ resemble Triffids. Here’s a few photos of our bountiful 2010 garden up here in the northern climes of Minneapolis. We do our best in our inner-city garden and this year our harvest is early and delicious.

I took a risk and planted on April 4th - incredibly risky in this land of snow. We covered everything in miles of plastic sheeting when we had an unusually (or not) late freeze and snowfall May 10th. Everything has survived and we’ve already depleted our crop of lettuce and spinach, which I have now replanted for a second crop.

Thus ends another boring Northern Midwest Crop report.
