It's Starting!


We have plants! When winter lingers on it is always nice when we start onions as it gets us thinking about summer! It can't be too far off, right? Well...onions are such slow growers and are day length sensitive that they need to be started very early. Our greenhouse is not yet heated, so we start our onions in our basement under grow lights. We have storage, red, and sweet onions started as well as leeks and shallots. Hopefully we will have a nice onion crop this year!

  1. Oh, thank you for this post and for the pictures! It's such a sign of hope, as I come in from shoveling snow AGAIN.
