Dan-I was not there long but momma never left. No sign today so I would guess all is well.

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Well sir, I was about to post this up when I saw your question. Right now I have them laid out on some wire cages under the lean to on my shop. I’ll let the tops dry up for a few days and then I’ll cut them off 4 inches or up from the bulb. Enough so that the onion won’t rot. When they’re good and dry I put them in mesh laundry bags and store them out in the shop. We’ll eat what we want or until we get down to enough to replant come November. As to taste, they’re very savory, almost like meat when cooked. I’ve been told they’re kind of half way between onions and shallots. I know this though, when you cut a raw one, you’ll think your eyeballs are turning inside out!
One of my momma’s brothers-in-law got me to raising them several years ago. He lost all his the same year I lost almost all of mine. Now as far as I’ve been able to sus out I’m the last one raising them in my neck of the woods. Hopefully one of my boys will keep them going when I’m gone.
Here they are drying.

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
This ole boy a few minutes ago, was checking out the corn and somebody up the road started shooting a gun just as I was gonna take a picture, he runs off but toward the gunfire he stops and looks toward the noise and I snapped a couple not very good as he was pretty far away. He didn't seem very afraid of the gunfire so I figure he'll be in the skillet when the hunting season gets here.
Re: Outdoorsman Thread
That’s a nice one!

Just found a very good YouTube clip. The End Of The Cattle Drive-Jerry Skinner. Most interesting, and some of the comments below were good reading.
Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Colonel - those tater onions look good. I had to look up tater onion. As I understand it, the tater onions reproduce by making a bunch of secondary bulbs which you can then replant. Sounds like a good way to grow onions. I grow a few onions in a little bed, but it would be nice to have a variety that makes bulbs to replant. I have not had a lot of luck with replanting the root end of an onion.

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Yes sir, that’s how it happens. The old rule of thumb was plant them the first of November and dig them the first of June. You want to grow twice as many as you need. The big ones when planted will produce 6 or more small “sets” and the little sets will produce two or so big onions. So if you plan half and half you’re good.Dinadan wrote: ↑Sun Jun 20, 2021 11:02 pmColonel - those tater onions look good. I had to look up tater onion.

The big ones are good raw or cooked. But the little sets you don’t need to replant are perfect to just throw in roasts etc, like little pearl onions.
In the spring you can also go out and pull some to eat as green onions.

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Nice critter pictures guys.
Does outdoor cooking qualify for the Outdoorsman thread? My brother and his wife raised chickens and had them butchered recently, so I decided to fry a whole one up in the turkey cooker with some wings. 6 lb bird cooked at 325° for 30 minutes, did the wings for 15 minutes. Dry rubbed the chicken and wings prior to frying, turned out deliciously perfect. Crispy skin and moist on the inside.
