Root Vegetable Harvest

A couple weekends ago my in-laws were up visiting us to see our new baby and he wanted to know what he could do to help around the house. My root veggies were too long in the ground so we went out for a couple hours of harvesting.

We pulled up about 15 gallons of red potatoes, tons of red, white, and yellow onions, French and Dutch Yellow shallots, and about 10 different garlic varieties.

I've given a bunch of them away, peeled and packed in oil the garlic, and still have tons of it in my garage. I guess planting in an area that has been used as a horse corral for the past 20 years was a good idea.
