Leeks!

Gardening season is officially in full swing.  The potatoes, peas, kohlrabi, radishes, turnips and beets are already in the ground.  Today I planted nearly 500 leeks.  I still have about that many to plant, as well as over 500 onion plants.

I'm pleading temporary insanity due to weather.  The day the onion orders needed to be turned in it was snowing and ugly outside.  I think I may have gotten carried away.  But last year the Prairie House bank account benefited greatly from the onion and leek harvest.  Perhaps that was the incentive to keep adding things to the order.

The last dozen or so onions from last year are on my counter waiting to be added to a recipe of some kind.  The others were sliced and put in the dehydrators last week....nearly 25 trays full.  They dried nicely and will be wonderful additions to our dry rubs and other herb mixes.
