How much of each veggie should I plant?

[old fashioned]

Yep, onions are one plant per seed (atleast I think so, since this is the first year I'm planting seed-usually do sets). If you want onions thru out the growing season, only plant a few at a time every few weeks so you have a continuous supply. Good luck!

So like, the average single green onion has like two leaves on it, I think, when harvested. Is it one onion per seed or do you get more then one off of one seed?

ONLY beets give you more than one plant per "Seed," which actually has more than one possible plant in it. Everything else pretty much grows one seed, one plant, if your're lucky. Many seeds never sprout.

I think there is a relationship between root plants. Iris, for example, reproduce by growing new corms, which can be broken off and replanted for more iris. They multiply by two's, so one iris becomes two next year, and 4 the year afterward, etc.

Potatoes are hard to grow from seeds, but pretty easy to grow from the roots that form on whole potatoes. One gives you many at the end of the growing season.

Onions, however, start OUT as seeds which grow into small bulbs, and need to die and regrow year #2 to become the crop that we know and love in our salads and sliced in our hamburger buns. Onion sets were grown from seed LAST year.

I never thought about using the search engine, lol! Okay, so how many onions, on average, can you get from one plant? Green onions that is.

Multiplier onions go nuts. I had lots of Green onions last year
