winter onions

[LPS]

Just got some onion sets and put them in the ground as it was raining.  They should be good to go for this fall.

Glenn, when do you harvest the seed pods? Do you store them for a while or plant them right away? Thanks, Art

Roony, looked at mine tonite. actually the usually just fall of and regrow. i'd personally wait a month then pluck them and put them right back into the ground. its what I usually do!!!

LPS,  My bride will me mailing you a Cate package tomorrow. If you get them in the ground you should have a good start for next spring.

Hey thanks much Glenn.  I did buy some sets and planted them after the critters took the ones you sent me.  Mine are growing great and it is the first time I have planted onions.  Will plant yours for next year and look forward to it.  How deep should I plant them and when should I plant them?

[glenn57]

Plant them as soon as you get them. Just let them go they will be fine over winter. Just make sure there covered with snow or something.

You don't need to plant them deep. Make a little trench no more then an inch deep put sets in and cover a bit with dirt.

Hey Glenn thanks so much.  I am pulling my green peppers since the dogs ate all of them and planting the onions there. 

[Rebel SS]

Your dogs or 'yotes???

[glenn57]

Hey no problem. Plenty more where they came from. Hope they work for ya this go round.

Your dogs or 'yotes???

The dogs frequently walk around with a green tomato in their mouth so I am thinking they did the peppers in too.   

[Rebel SS]

HHAHAHAHAHA!!  OOP,    Not funny...that's unreal.   

[mike89]

had a couple dogs that ate maters, but only the ripe ones!!!!

[glenn57]

That's crazy. Never had hounds that did that. On the other hand the deer up north sure like my mom's hosta's! Barely any leaves left on all her plants.

Barry noticed lately there seemed to be less brats on the grill than he remembered.....

Hey Roony, have you tried any winter onions yet??? I looked at mint and I might try some maybe Saturday.  Kinda looks like they may need another week or so.

[roony]

Not yet but I am thinking about it. We had our first asparagus on Monday, it was super
 Maybe I'll dig up few onions before supper. Did you ask Reb how his onions turned out?

[glenn57]

  nope not lately.

[LPS]

I looked at our asparagus and they don't even exist yet.  Can't wait.  I would like to try onions again.  Even the green top ones.

didn't I send you some? Once a while ago?? Later this summer I can again. If you want.

[LPS]

Yes you did Glenn.  It was dry as heck that year and I don't think I watered them enough.  I am a novice gardener but enjoying it more every year.

I've got a few sprigs of asparagus poking up now, but that's about it.
