Onions in RC Monfero

This year we have collected some production of organic onions in the garden of RuralC Monfero.
In February´s waning moon we planted onions we had preserved to get seeds.
In late April we transplanted 2 "cientos" (hundreds is a measure used in this zone, "ciento, "medio-ciento") of "chata" onion (Galician onion type) .
In late August 2013 we have collected seeds for next year and the 2 cientos already grown, of which we´ll save some for replanting to get new seeds.
We have dried the others in the "hórreo" (Galicia´s traditional raised granary) and after we have braided them. By this way we can hang up to preserve them better.
You can see some pictures of this process.
