I faired out pretty decent this year all things considered with the dear! Sweet corn was great, carrots though late turned out beautiful, the half of the beets the deer didn't eat were good (so the wife says, I don't eat them). Tomatoes were kinda crappy...seemed like I had wilt or something with the leaves, sprayed them a couple times - didn't seem to help any. I am having issues with my onions though! They grew well all summer long, started to dry down, so I pulled them and put them on some chicken wire off the ground in the sun. The stupid things keep getting mushy and start rotting. I can throw a couple out every other day? Stupid things! The only ones that seem to be keeping ok is the red ones and some Spanish ones. The sweet white ones are JUNK! :angry: Have no idea what I am doing wrong? I roll them into the garage at night on the trailer once the sun starts to set so the dew doesn't fall on them? I am almost at the point of not planting onions anymore because they won't keep. Any suggestions or does anyone else have this problem? :bash2:
