View attachment 8201 What do you think? They work and one doesn't look the slightest bit ridiculous!

I think they are fabulous!

This is a wonderful thread like bragging with the harvests. How I would love to join by posting our own but it's sad that our garden was inundated. Our cassava crops had started from scratch again. And due to the excessive rains, the fruits of the dragon fruit vine are very small like dwarf fruits. This changing season is not really good, the plants seem to go crazy.

How do you go chopping up the onions, Becky. I recently found the most wonderful things.......glasses especially for onion chopping, mine are very bright pink cats eyes glasses with silver diamontes...mmmmm. I was shopping and about to go home to make French onion soup when I saw them and decided they were a must. They do work and I'm sure I don't look ridiculous wearing them. I mean the cats don't laugh. I gave pair to my sister for her birthday. Hers are more subtle, black with the diamontes. The shop assistant serving me told me a customer had bought a pair and then came back and bought 6 more for his employees in his restaurant. Wouldn't that kitchen be fun!

Wow your glasses are fabulous, I love them!!

I wear contact lenses, so I find that chopping onions doesn't bother me at all

I have found it helpful to have a fan blow the fumes away from my face!

(Though if I did not wear glasses so that I can see, I would happily buy a pair of onion glasses: I really hate the onion fumes)

Oh. Em. Gee. Those glasses are the bomb! Love them.
Maybe I'm not buying the right onions; cutting them never makes me tear up.

And zigs, what a great harvest. I swear next year I'm going to try garlic. If I get used to freshly-grown garlic will I be spoiled for store-bought, like with tomatoes?

Great harvest, I love the onion glasses.

Fantastic harvest of the garlic, @zigs We have to buy garlic here and I am not sure if they are organic and fresh like yours!

The fresh stuff is a bit stronger

You're lucky Beth. It kills. Lucky I have found my super duper glasses hey!

I plan on starting garlic earlier this year. I harvested a few itty bitty single clove bulbs at the start of the summer and I have two still waiting to be dug up, but the last time I checked they didn't seem they were going to be much bigger. I'm just glad I managed to grow them without them failing or getting eaten for a change.

Your plot is looking great Zigs! Do you fancy the onion glasses? Not sure about the pink on you though.

A good harvest! Make sure you eat all the varieties. Your body needs a balanced diet - carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and minerals.
