   I poked the garden with a dandelion digger today, and it   
   went down a good two inches. Two more, and I can harvest   
   winter onions. It won't be in February this year, but it's   
   going to be really early in March.   
      
   I didn't harvest onions on New Year's Day because I had some   
   in the fridge. The garden has been socked in ever since,   
   but harvesting ten months of the year ain't bad.

   *Really* early in March -- I dug three scallions just before   
   supper. The ground hadn't thawed two more inches, but there   
   was only a thin shell of frozen earth above the frost line.   
      
   Since winter onions are strong, three will be a three-day   
   supply for two people. (He likes the white end, I like the   
   green end.)
