You might just go with cutting the eyes from a bag of red potatoes, from you local grocery. The finest onions I’ve every raised were grown from a bag of green onions from Walmart, after using the tops for cooking and planting the bulbs. I learned to just cut the tops off for cooking, leaving the bubs in the ground - this way you always have green onions for cooking. :)
I have had off and on success starting grocery store potatoes. This year, it is too much risk to “hope” it works. I did find a local supplier, quite a drive, but it’s all good.
I’m trying my hand at gardening. Tilled up my lovely georgia red dirt. I mixed in miracle grow garden soil before planting seed.
We are trying sweet corn, onions, Yukon potatoes, tomatoes which will be put in pots after they start inside, strawberries, watermelon, cantaloupe and blackberries.
Followed directions on seed packets so hopefully we will get some nice fruits and veges.
I fenced off the area, 10×25 already so the deer and other critters don’t get to them.
How is the Georgia soil for gardening? It wasn’t really Clay I was planting in, below the tilled surface was pretty hard though.
When harvesting lettuce and greens, harvest only the bottom leaves so the upper leaves can continue to grow. Eventually, you’ve got some weird looking tall plants but it sure saves on seeds and grow time.
