Giddy About Onions

I had just about given up on the onions I had planted last Fall to over winter as I had not seen much growth... until now....It's funny how you can walk through the garden and not see something right in front of your eyes. I was planting cilantro seeds in bed 2 yesterday and didn't see this until today... see photo below.



Some of the onions in bed 4 are bigger than my index finger.



Also walking through the garden today I spotted this...



The acorn squash is bearing fruit.



Keep your eyes open.. you will be amazed at what you see.

    Momma - I know just what you mean. I had a few small ones last year but they sure were good.

  7. being in California, I'm suprised your onions aren't bulbing by now. When did you plant them?

  8. Ron - Thanks for stopping by. The white onions were planted in Nov. The red onions went in Feb 13th. The biggest problem I have is very little sun in the beds until about April... so they get a slow start. I also think I plant them to deep.
