Most of the row weeded; 4-6-3 applied.
Part IV · Crop record 12
Onions
Onions were harvested gradually as their tops fell, ending with the last standing bulb in late July and a basement curing period.
Growth timeline
The season in three field marks
Bulbs pulled in stages as tops naturally fell.
The final standing onion was harvested.
Planting
Onions were distributed through the left, center, and right root-and-greens rows rather than confined to one block.
Fertilization
A measured 4-6-3 application supported bulbs after weeding; late nitrogen was avoided as maturity approached.
Irrigation
Drip irrigation served the root rows early, then water was reduced as tops fell and curing approached.
Pest history
No onion pest was recorded.
Harvest progression
Bulbs were pulled in several rounds rather than all at once, then spread in the basement to cure.
Companion record
Onions shared rows with potatoes, carrots, lettuce, and spinach, using narrow spaces across the compact plot.
Organic practices
Hand weeding, plant-signal harvest timing, and dry curing were the principal practices.
Yield
The full standing crop was harvested by July 22; exact bulb count and weight were not recorded.
