Onions had a tough time this year. About 10% started to bolt \u2013 prematurely sends up a flower stalk. This year the issue was cold weather. The plants sense the cold, anticipated fall and the need to reproduce. As the flower heads developed, I cut them off. I don&#8217;t need the flowers or the seeds. Another grower, Becky, in Washington also got starts from Dixiondale and, with many others, had the same problem. Here is what she says:<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Fn2lvniS_Ms?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<p>I&#8217;ll pull all the ones that bolted, chop them up, and freeze them in \u00bd pound packets for later use.<br \/>\nThe doe, in front of the Milkweed was alone. There are several such and a couple of antlered ones around. Two babies, still with spots, are traveling together and another small one is around. They all bound away when they see me, unlike the older ones.<\/p>\n<p>I used the truck to pull previously cut trees nearer to where I want to make firewood. When I started to put the chain on one of those, there in the dirt was a handset for the house phone. I cut those trees last fall and pulled them out of the initial resting place in March. When doing that the phone came out of my shirt pocket and has been there for about 4 months. The cracks in the glass are from a previous event.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/On-the-Naneum-Fan-July-10-2022-B.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"755\" height=\"400\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12616\" srcset=\"http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/On-the-Naneum-Fan-July-10-2022-B.jpg 755w, http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/On-the-Naneum-Fan-July-10-2022-B-300x159.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\nKathy and Francisco came from Puyallup on Wednesday afternoon. We loaded the F350 (once mine) with recovered lumber from the remodeling of the big shed and 3 thick posts milled from the load of logs had. I had 2 sheets of corrugated sheeting \u2013 top and bottom protectors on a roofing delivery.<br \/>\nThey brought several food gifts, including home grown bacon I had for breakfast today. Kathy has raised everything from bees to bacon, so this was a treat.<br \/>\nAfter the truck was loaded we went to EBRG and they bought supper at The Red Pickle, a relatively new eatery that began as a food truck. It is a nice place with good food and friendly staff. <\/p>\n<p>This coming week is going to be our summer, but still about 20\u00b0F cooler than our experience last year.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/On-the-Naneum-Fan-July-11-13-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"614\" height=\"228\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12617\" srcset=\"http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/On-the-Naneum-Fan-July-11-13-.jpg 614w, http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/On-the-Naneum-Fan-July-11-13--300x111.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\nWith the clear night sky, I can get the core house temperature down to about 68\u00b0 by morning. Likely, I won&#8217;t need to turn the AC on. The Weather Service folks think there is potential for a thunder storm Tuesday evening and that would change the temperatures.
