Hmmm.... Thanks for the feedback on the onions. There's a couple that are maybe a little bigger than a golf ball. I'll probably just chop those up and freeze dry them. The couple that are walnut sized, I may allow to sprout new greens, then peel the outer layers and replant. We'll see what grows...
She's at least halfway through... I'd have to candle them all to check which would be hard(ER) because she's an olive egger so her eggs are hard to see through.

So what do I have to lose?
I may need to move it somewhere it will get shade in the afternoon. It's easily lost at least a third of its leaves and all the baby lemons smaller than a quarter are dropping off. It's definitely stressed....
Scattered storms all over the state today... All of them seem to be missing me. Grrrrrr... When I watered yesterday, I forgot to water the lemon tree. All the leaves are curled and about to fall off. 😞 I'll have to go out this evening and give it a drink since Mother Nature is not in an...
