I doubt he has to hoe much at all. All those rocks make for great, loose soil structure, meaning weeds should just rake up out of that with ease.
I did not know if planting my own seeds for onions would be of any use. I did it once before indoors in late winter. All I got were plants like blades of grass that did not make it through the transplanting. The ones I planted last fall have a bulb the size of a pea and a good size green. They look as if they will be of good use but time will tell. I am going to harden them off outdoors pretty soon for early May planting.I planted onions in trays in my greenhouse several weeks ago. The directions say 6-8 weeks before outdoor planting. I am trying to grow onions the size of the plants I have been buying for several years. The plants grow much bigger than the onion sets I used to get . My onions this year were as big as you get in the store. The plants are quite expensive and certainly not organically grow. So, time will tell if I can get a good sized bulb for out door planting in the spring.
