I always like to get my plants (in this case bulbs) into the ground before a possible rain storm or shower occurs. This is a good way for the bulbs to enjoy some natural rain water which they seem to respond positively to. It also gives them a good soaking which is a good way to conserve water.
Just wanted to give a quick update on my garden progress so far. This week I purchased both yellow and red onions that are to be planted in totes outside. The weather has been getting somewhat warmer, but it is still too cold to start tilling the garden. (more…)
Today I want to discuss how I plant my onions and what I think the best way that you can easily increase your yield with a simple to use method. Instead of planting them in the ground I use large totes that hold enough soil for these plants to thrive and grow to a reasonable size. I have been using this method ever since I started gardening and it has worked every year.
Now normally I wouldn’t wait to mid April to start planting them in the totes. It is best to grow them the first of April which is what I have been doing for the many years of gardening. This year I guess I happened to forget about them and didn’t realize it until a couple of days ago. (more…)
