Condradulations to the both of you! Nice pics! Tell me how to grow onions the way that you did. I think it's our soil! Any special tricks that you use.

Thanks for all the nice comments.. We had fun & we are also glad it is over for the year..alot of work goes into getting ready for the fair like we do. I picked up the entries today..the corn measured in at 11 feet 6inches tall.. Made enuff $$ for a nice sumpin.. what ever that may be..or put it into the $$ jar for supplies we need for next year where ever that may be.. I saved many items that were in good shape yet..the puppy will no doubt eat the carrots..he seems to like veggies real well. We will eat the tators as they are in great shape..the cabbage is good too..
