Onion Fields – Rurality Blog Hop #3

Onion Fields - Adams County  WA

A stand of poplar trees march like sentinels along the eastern edge of an onion field.

Here in the bright,

but cold early spring sunshine,

an onion field lies fallow until planting time.

As I stepped out of my car to set up my tripod

and catch a few images,

I was almost over powered by the smell of raw onions.

Even though these fields of onions has been plowed under

and had over wintered through rain and snow,

they were still pungent.

At first the smell of the onions was familiar

and somewhat pleasing even if it was strong.

But after about five minutes I bailed,

the onion smell drove me back into my car

and out of the field.

I found the row of poplars a pleasant scene

as the cumulus clouds hung lazily

in the cerulean blue sky.

  1. It’s amazing how much the odor lingers on even when the onions themselves are long gone! I’ve always wondered how the farmers stand it when their homes are in the middle of onion territory! Thanks for hosting Madge~

  2. Terrific view – but I know what you mean about the onion smell. In SoCal they would dump the extra onions in vacant fields and people were allowed to go in and gather onions – if they dare. Two friends and I drove down near the onions – gathered what we could before we were overpowered and then the driver got the car stuck – IN THE ONIONS. You really don’t want to have to push a car that is stuck in onions – it took weeks before we didn’t reek of onions.

    And my link worked today – I tried a different browser. Thanks for the blog hop.
