Onion

WE TRIED PLANTING SOME ONIONS IN THE SPRING LAST YEAR. But the weather turned to hot too quickly and the vast majority of them never bulbed out. Hopefully we’ve fixed that little issue this year by planting them in the fall, like we’re supposed to up here in northern Zone 5.  Garlic too. There they sit, under the snow. Hopefully dreaming big, fat dreams for next year.  We’ll see. All of our neighbors grow the most beautiful garlic. There’s even a Garlic Festival in Sharon Springs each fall. Maybe this year we’ll enter. If the fates allow.

We planted nearly every kind of heirloom garlic that Landreth sells. We’ll let you know what our favorites are come fall. But right now we’re really looking for any advice you all have about growing either onions or garlic. Let us know what you know in the comment section below the photos. If we’re successful, we’ll give you a big hug. No kisses though…garlic, you know…
