Walking onions: You said, “Should all the green remain?”

Unless there is a green, a new onion doesn’t grow. If you have gobs of greens, then it doesn’t matter to eat some, however, if you are just starting and have only a few greens, leave them to grow more onions.

I have ten of them up now and four have greens about six inches tall. I won’t touch the greens or eat any onions from that patch until next year when they have had a chance to “walk” and produce more onions.

Excellent, thank you, that’s what I figured, but wasn’t sure; I was impatient, and snipped some. I’ll leave them alone now.

I see the Tromboncino Squash hasn’t gotten you yet. That’s good, and I hope your neck is all better.

I went to Walmart & picked up my grow light..That four foot long light is really long..

It went together easy as pie...well, easy as eating a pie, not making a pie. I used a deadhead rubber mallet, which was a really good investment for putting things together, and not dinging them up. I plugged in the lamp, and all systems are go.

Now, I have no idea what to plant, and stick under it, but it looks like I can plant a bunch of somethings that are yet to be determined.

Time to look through my seeds, and decide.Some toy choi, and I’m not sure what else.
