Jim's Favorite Garden Vegetable Onion Seeds

Useful gardening infomation

Onion is a cool-season vegetable that can be grown successfully throughout most of temperate North America. Onions may be grown from sets, transplants or seeds.
Onions start bulb formation when the day length is of the proper duration and different varieties of onions require different day lengths to initiate bulbing. In general, most common varieties fall into one of two classes, long-day (for northern latitudes) and short-day (for southern latitudes). For this reason, onion varieties that are grown in the South are not adaptable to the North and vice versa. Late plantings of the suggested varieties also result in small bulbs or lack of bulbing altogether in any location.
High temperatures and low humidity are advantageous during bulbing and curing. Onions have shallow roots and compete poorly with weeds and grasses. Timely shallow hoeing and cultivation are important, especially when the onions are small.
Onions may be eaten raw, broiled, boiled, baked, creamed, steamed, fried, french fried and pickled. They are used in soups and stews and combination with vegetables and meats.

Garlic Bulbs

Robust White Garlic Cloves
This high yeilding variety produces an early harvest and wonderful homegrown flavor. Each bulb will produce many plants when the cloves are divided.
Planting: Break individual cloves from bulb. Plant with root end facing down. Plant at a depth of 1 inch (25mm) below the soil surface. Plant each clove 4 inches apart.
Growing the Largest Best Possible Bulbs: Excellent drainage is key to preventing the risk of disease, fungi and keeping the roots healthy. Consider a raised bed to help with drainage. Once the plants are growing in the spring, use very light side applications of a nitrogen fertilizer about every two weeks. Garlic does not compete well with weeds, so keep you garden free of weeds. Keep garlic plants watered during dry spells in spring.
