Valencia is what I'm growing this year, and I'm trying out the Utah onions. We'll see how it goes.

I've opened up a little more than 300 sq ft in mostly shade for the tobacco next year. The soil is sandy and lacks much in the way of biomass.

I decided to put winter wheat in there for ground cover and till it in next spring for green manure. This is one of the very few times that I'm using commercial fertilizer on my property.

I did broadcast the wheat pretty heavy. Over a quart for 300 sq ft. ;)

Just got out my envelopes of onion seed. All these are heirloom:

Yellow Sweet Spanish Utah - 110-130 days. Are these the Utah’s you mentioned?

Evergreen Bunching Onions - 60-120 days.

Borettana Cipollini Onions - 110-120 days.

Are you saying you’re planning onions now and they will be ready in the spring? Or will they be ready sometime in the winter? I’m confused.
