Petunia in the Onion Patch

[digitS']

Okay, it wasn't Petunia; it was me! Not lonely in the least!

Yesterday, I woke up to snow, then it was sunny, then it snowed again. Today. Blue Sky Day!!

First day to work in the garden. Cultivation chores in the little veggie garden were mostly completed last Fall so it didn't take too long to get some of the onion family in! There are onion sets tucked in between the rows of these guys, too!

These Sterling Whites are saying, 'Hey, I've a feeling we're not in Texas any more!'

These are some lovely Picador shallots grown from seed, 2 years ago. They are saying, 'Hey, weren't we 2 beds farther north last year?!'

Back home, Goddess was cooling her heels. (Don't you love the names the seed companies come up with sometimes? I mean, for a red, bunching onion? ) They are saying, 'Hey, get us back inside! What is it, all of 50F?! It's frreeezzzing out here and then you threw water on us!'

They'll have their turn, out in the open garden soon!

I've never seen a red bunching onion before. Sounds like it would be pretty to garnish with.

Those are Walla Walla Sweets behind the Goddess sticker, Rich.

Gotta have Walla Walla!

Tokyo White has been my bunching onion (scallions) for quite a few years but it would be great if I could find one that isn't quite as muscular, shall I say? Besides Goddess, I've got Fukagawa -- really poor germination. I won't show you those .

I grew 4 Seasons one year and it is a better green onion than Tokyo White but poor germination and production . . . This red scallion is doing great!
