After several days of continuous rain I pulled up the rest of the onions. It looks like about 60 or so onions. Wife is cooking a Red Onion pizza.

Those are nice sized onions! I think you’ve figured out the right combination of variety and growing methods

Red onions are sensitivity to 85°f temperatures in March & April most of them bolted, I only planted 25 and got 1 nice onion and about 10 very small onions. Yellow onions always do best. I planted sets = bulbs and plants, most of the plants died I wasted $21. A bag of 200 yellow sets was $5. We had 3 months of rain, I had to build another drying table to keep onions from rotting tops are like wet toilet paper.

I picked 17 lbs. of Roma Green beans today in a 5 gallon bucket. Wife is putting about 10 bags of beans in the freezer. 5 years ago we learned Roma is much better flavor than Blue Lake, I will never grown Blue Lake beans again. About 6 pm I will pick another 5 gallons of beans. In about 2 weeks there will be another 5 gallons to pick. Then I let plants produce seeds to plant next year. I always save my own seeds, a penny saved is a penny earned. This bean row is 125 seeds planted in a 30 ft row.
