The Last Vegetables of the Season

Today ended up being above average outside, a balmy 66 degrees!  I had already pulled up my tomatoes and peppers about a month ago, but I still had a few carrots and onions in the garden.  They seem to enjoy the cooler weather, so I let them stay until today.

I pulled up tons of carrots and onions.  I planted the short, stubby carrots at the beginning of spring.  I am not sure why it took them so long to grow since this was my first year gardening.  I brought in a whole bag of carrots from my raised garden.  Now I have to figure out what to make from them.

I pulled up all my onions today too.  I thought they looked nice until I gave them a squeeze and found that they were squishy.  It must be because it has been so cool for the past month?  I threw them all into the garden and dug them under with my gardening hoe.  Hopefully they will decompose and give nutrients to next years plants.
