Hot and getting hotter! If you still have spring lettuce in the ground, it's time to harvest it all. Hot temperatures will turn it bitter. Water thoroughly the evening before and harvest first thing in the morning. If you're growing a heat-tolerant variety, give it some shade! #thecoeurdalenecoop #lettuceharvest #springlettuce #lastlettucetilfall ... See MoreSee Less

Wow! These are not onions but massive Dutch yellow Wow! These are not onions but massive Dutch yellow shallots. A bumper crop this year with a few more to pop out of the ground. These were planted as small bulbs last fall when the garlic went in. They will cure for a few weeks, and I'll save back the best to replant for next year. Crispy fried shallots, anyone?
