What did you do in the garden today?

[TJAnonymous]

I'm happy with my harvest of green onions, celery and carrots.
I left a few green onions and a bunch of celery to get later.

Very nice... My carrots never look so nice like that and I can't get green onions to grow to save my life... Do share your secrets...

I got some, Egyptian Walking Onions??? from someone, because they were supposed to be something special and really hard to get down here, and expensive too !!

Anyways, they are doing well, but I don't see anything special about them really. Nipping off piece of a leaf and eating,it's not really special up there either. So, what's their thing that makes them unique?

They are too set onions that will fall over and reseed themselves so they appear to walk across the garden.

Guess I have to wait for mine to flower then. Hopefully soon so I get something out of them before having to play frost protection.

I’m getting ready to pull a few out and see what the bulb in the dirt looks like as I’ll need to plant them somewhere else.

I might end up doing that too, putting them in a 5 gal bucket or something to winter over and hope they start 'walking' next year.

What I like about them is I bought bulbs 4 years ago. I haven't had to buy anything since. They have filled in the bed and try to "walk" into the path next to it.

If I run out of onions, I can always dig up some EWOs. Unless the ground is frozen solid, of course.

I have never tried to transplant a bulb. Let me know if it works.

So to use them, you just dig them up and eat like any other normal onion right?
How do they taste? Mild, sweet, ??

New Laptop, where all the keys work.
Brought in another 8 pounds of orange tomatoes.
Tomorrow will be another day of nothing but processing tomatoes, which I am grateful.

 

[Ascholten]

use the old laptop to smash them with, easier to throw in blender then

I put them in containers, I weeded them constantly and gave them a drink of water almost every day. I sprinkled some fertilizer in with the seed, that was all.
