Roy you say that the onions need a snow cover and this is what I see today.
Just one sticking out of the snow. About 6 inches but I havent measured it.
I havent paid much attention in the last week or so but I hope the rest are fine under the snow.
We are suppose to get rain and I think the snow will melt this time so I will see later.

I believe that the snow cover is to insulate the onion plants from when it gets real cold. It's getting a lot cooler here, around --60's in the day upper 40's to 50's at night.
I gave my experimental planting a watering today. I'd also stuck what I'm pretty sure are hardneck garlic cloves in the soil. The garlic is growing great guns but the onions are hanging in there.
It will be interesting to see how your onions do this winter.Our house is as Neil left it- an Aladdin’s cave of 'stuff'.

Thanks, Roy
I wonder if I should cover them With straw?
If you don't care where you are, you are not lost.

I don't have an answer for that Dave. I'm wondering about the straw getting compacted by snow and crushing the onion plants instead of the snow just gently accumulating around them
I will say that your plants are much bigger than mine are We had our first killing frost the other day and my little plants survived just fine.Our house is as Neil left it- an Aladdin’s cave of 'stuff'.

My first thought is that the straw wouldn't hurt but then I looked at mine and after the snow is melting away they are having a hard time sticking through the maple leaves.

Saw this a while back.. https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/ad...overtly-sexual
Getting closer to lemon-picking. Could not trim it this year before it bloomed because of the bluejays,
Gotta get out there around Valentine's day and make this wild thing more of a bush
