Wat'ca got growing in there?

Maybe instead of a rake, you could gently remove the leaves with your hands so the shoots won't get damaged? :thinking:

Your guess is as good as mine. We really don't have any leaves in the fields.

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:shrug:

I will...

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...

I don't grow basil as while I do use a bit, I just purchase the organic at a store that's walking distance from me. I can usually keep it alive long enough to be able to use most of it. After that I...

I was just about to post that same link.

Good luck, sounds like they are pretty easy to keep going. With that said, it is getting a bit toward your winter, it'll be here before you know it.

According to this link, you just remove the top (bulbils) and plant it.

Good for you! That's wonderful news!:y

I 'think' that I do have a few onion sprouts coming up. I'd set a sprinkler and forgot about it and I found the planter full of water so I'm not real confident but here's a pic from today.

I also have a few grass like things that might actually be onions. but my little container also has a shite pot of what I'm sure are weeds trying to grow :banghead:

I'll try to get some pics after...

I planted a few yesterday just for shites and giggles. I've read that depending on temperature anywhere between 4 days and 10 days--:shrug:

Most articles I've found don't show that you can plant in the fall. Many even show starting indoors then transplanting in the spring.

As I said: Years ago the Italians would plant in the spring...

I 'think' 1/4" to 1/2" deeps seems to be mostly recommended.

Perhaps this link will help--

I've read that if the 'Star' forms on the blossom end when they are just starting to turn red then the vines can be pulled and placed over rafters in a cool but not cold area and they will fully...

Here's a bit of an update to the previous post about my Butternut Squash growing experiment.

I've kept checking for more squash forming but everything that I 'thought' might a new squash died away...

You might consider blanching the ripe toms in boiling water, then put them in ice water so the skins peel then you can either chop them, cut in half or leave whole and freeze them.

You can put...

Things with the Butternut Squash plant are coming along, however I'm a bit befuddled.

All of the early blooms that I've shown didn't produce any fruit. The blooms just died. Kind of like these;

Soon the neighbors are going to start closing their curtains and drapes and not answer the door when they see you coming with zucchini :rofl2:

Back when Ethiopia was having such a hard go with...
