Perfect day to plant some onions!
My onion sets and onion starts last year did not produce very nice onions. It could be that with the wedding and surgery, I neglected the garden a bit. Or it could have been the sets and starts. How likely is that?
Either way, I am anxious to get my hands in soil, and it is onion planting time! So while the snow whips around outside, inside I washed my seed tray from last year in hot soapy water and gathered my supplies.
I bought two kinds of onion seeds - Sweet Yellow Spanish Utah Jumbo and Red Burgundy.
I planted 36 red and 33 yellow ( I lost one of my original seed starting trays over the winter and used a six pack I had laying around). I would love to say I then placed them in a sunny window.
They were placed by a window. If the winter keeps going this way, I may invest in some grow lamps.
