So believe it or not, I actually think I'm done with the garden for the season! Besides getting the citrus trees planted, we've also finished cleaning all the plants out of the garden and planted the onions and garlic for next spring:
This is the first year we've planted things to over-winter, but after tiny onion crops and much research, I think it'll be the best way to get enough to last us through salsa making next year. Since it's not common enough for people to plant veggies in the fall, we ordered some bulbs online from Grow Organic (http://www.groworganic.com/) and planted two rows of onions (top of box) and one row of garlic (bottom of box.) This year we're trying Stuttgarter Yellow onion sets, and Purple Italian Garlic bulbs. Both are types that over-winter and start growing early in the spring, so with a little care we should be harvesting in early June!
