A Bunch of Onions

The bunching onions are in! I planted roughly 24 of each of most of these except for the first one which was closer to 15 or 16.

  • Crimson Forest bunch onions (Baker Creek)
  • Deep Purple bunching onions (Johnny's)
  • Evergreen Hardy White bunching onions (Johnny's)
  • He Shi Ko bunch onions (Baker Creek)
  • Red Welch bunch onions (Baker Creek)

These little whippets were planted on March 30 so they're pretty young and delicate. The Red Wings and Cortlands look huge in comparison!

The compost looking stuff in this picture is just extra Promix that I dumped out of some plug trays.

There was a few feet left over at the south end of this row so I stuffed in the leftover Red Wing F1 onions. A few of them may be a little crowded but I can thin them for greens if nothing else.

The only thing that's left for the north end of the Intervale garden is beans and it's not warm enough for those yet. The next thing to get planted here will likely be the flower/orach row.
