What's in your garden?

Hey TV, my okra is about the same size as yours.

I did not grow onions this year, but I have planted them in the spring and gotten large onions in the fall. Your friend is correct however, about the recommended planting time for onions. All the farms plant in October or September. I think most commercial farms usually plant from seed, so that makes some difference. I always used sets.

I noticed onions do not like a lot of water when they near maturity. I had a problem not watering them when everything else around them needed water. I should not have planted them in rows in the middle of the garden. Over watered onions are often soft. At least that is my guess as to why my onions did not do real well a few years back.

I did a quick google search for growing onions here is the first link.
