Onions On The Windowsill

Onions On The Windowsill

You may have noticed the onions drying on the windowsill in my Unplugged post. I love the way the sunlight and shadows look in the morning. It’s a beautiful still life image. I find art in many places. Who would have thought a bowl filled with onions would be so pretty.

Our garden only has a few onions left in the ground. Next year we plant to plant more of them, they were used and shared quickly. Many are drying in the garden bench outside.I love being able to see their progress through the screened doors.

Can you see the onions in there? I’ll open the door for a better look. ๐Ÿ™‚

Onions have a way of telling you when they are ready to be pulled. They tip over and the green tops flop onto the soil. It’s really quite incredible when you think about it. The onions let you know when they are ready to be picked! This one is almost ready.

We still have plenty of green onions left inย  the garden. You can see some of them in the background. I use them a lot for cooking and they are great in salads too. Several of our grandchildren are fond of green onions, hard to believe kids like onions, giggle ๐Ÿ™‚ I use green onions instead of chives in recipes too.

When they are almost ready for eating they end up in a bowl on the windowsill where the skins soon dry and peel away. A reminder of the many layers inside. For those who may wonder if our home smells like onions, I am happy to share that it doesn’t. There really is very little smell at all until you cut them.

See you at the Thursday Favorite Things hop!

    Hi Katherine,

    I have a good sized garden, but have never tried onions. I should, I eat them in everything. I didn’t realize they were so easy. We grow a lot of squash, cucumbers, peppers, eggplant, cauliflower, tomatoes, etc. I’m new here at Thursday Favorite Things Blog Hop. Thank you for hosting. Kim

    Oh my – we grow a ton of onions! I usually wait until most have flopped over, then knock the rest of the greens down gently with a rake and let them sit a day or two before I pull them and dry them on racks, which can only be done when there’s going to be several rain-free days (I’m always crossing fingers that the forecasters have it right!)

    We should try growing some. We get green onions by accident sometimes.

    We don’t have any because no one in my family can eat them, but you sure make them beautiful.

    I actually do have onions growing in my garden, but we just planted them this year and I had no idea when to tell when they were ready to be pulled. We just dug up 13 potatos from our garden over the weekend and were so excited about it. Last week we pulled up an onion, but it was not ready at all. I just assume onions need a bit longer. Thanks for this post. The photos are beautiful!

    No onions, but shallots and garlic which are ready to harvest any day now. I’ll be drying them on an old bench before tucking them into the pantry for the winter. Your onions looks wonderful in and out of the garden bed.
