I grew less onions this year than last, but they should still last me far into the frigid snowy days of winter. I learned all of this from a local friend, since I saw a braid of huge gorgeous onions hanging in her kitchen a few years ago and asked if she would teach me everything she knew. These are storage onions that I will soon pull, cure in the dry, sunny garden bed, then braid to hang in my kitchen. After experimenting with a few different varieties of onions, trying seeds vs. sets, I finally discovered the type of onion that thrives well in our area: Copra onions. Onions are my garden pride and joy ( very quickly followed by carrots!).

I planted mine near my brussel sprouts, kohrabi, and kale and it is doing its job well so far! It repels soil nematodes, aphids, bean beetles, and many more.

To my pleasant surprise, it bloomed this beautiful pink! Yarrow is a great companion plant to many vegetables and is one of those plants you should feel free to plant all over your garden. Honestly, when I ordered these seeds from our local organic seed company Johnny’s Seeds, I thought the yarrow would be white or yellow.

The range of greens is amazing, too, including everything from earthy subdued to vibrant and fresh. One of these years, I’ll realize that even with our family of five, we only need two kale plants, not eight. Kale does amazingly well in our garden and climate, so each plant grows about 3 1/2 feet tall and 2 feet across. We eat kale in egg scrambles, as kale chips, in soups and stews, stir-fries, and more. Our first stop is with the hardy, delicious, and dare I say–GIANT–kale.

Want to sing “oh, how beautiful!” while we sit in the shade and enjoy today’s color inspiration? Let’s! This year my garden is severely neglected, but has been weeded just enough for it to do its job: produce food for our family. Get a little bit closer, and you have the photos shared here today. Pass through the gate, wade through the grasses and clover, though, and you will see three little somewhat tended garden beds, gleefully holding a bunch of delicious veggies. From afar it looks like a fenced in plot of weeds and wildflowers. Today’s color inspiration brings us into my vegetable garden. “Gardens are not made by singing ‘Oh, how beautiful!’ and sitting in the shade.”
