Onion Harvest and Tomato Season Update

Posted on August 14th, 2022 by Brittany Reardon

We're writing with some unfortunate news today - we will see an early end to our tomato crop due to early blight which we suspect is due to lack of rain and stressed plants. If you're looking to put tomatoes away for the winter, this is the time! I like freezing them whole in bags and processing them during the winter months. 

The onion harvest begins! Though we've been picking fresh onions for a few weeks now, it's time to pull them to cure for the colder days ahead. Red onions are first, then cippolini, and then finally our yellow storage onions. Sweet onions will be harvested for fresh eating. We planted them late to avoid the first flight of the allium leaf miner, so the harvest is a bit late, but so far it's looking great!
