What did you do in the garden today?

Quick question for people who grow bulb onions.... If you harvest your onions and discover some that are very small (walnut sized), what do you do with them? Replant them again?

Technically, the onion starts you get in the store are just that, onions started the prior year but the trouble with them is they never get terribly big before that go to seed. I'd just use them this year but I prefer seed starting my onions in the late winter.

I watered the peppers, beans, tomatoes and some onions with the hose this morning. It's supposed to get up to around 90 degrees today with bright sunshine.

pearl onions, lots of recipes
if they are an open pollenated variety, could replant and save seeds when they bolt.

All I’ve done today is play with my new knives and tie up some tomatoes. I have been so lazy

exactly what do you mean by ‘play with my new knives’?

I bought 3 new knives 2 weeks ago and they finally got here so I was messing around with them

I have now watered my beans, tomatoes, one of my loofahs, a couple peppers that needed a drink, and now how to go clean up a ton of spilled dirt from my dogs knocking over my new chive planter that I was excited about having closer to the back door

In my world onions are just the white version of beets and they both hate me.

I have so much to do with the tomatoes, but I’m scared of getting out tomorrow, it will be so hot and humid!
