O, onions! We grew them last year, but I can’t recall if they were from seed or sets. Anyway, we had a decent harvest, but most were small. We still have a lot of teeny ones and plan to plant them. The seed box my husband started looked beautiful until he brought it upstairs. The dining table doesn’t get enough sunlight, but he ignores me.

I really got a tremendous kick out of using our own onions all winter long. For some reason I find the onions to be the most satisfying of the “I grew it myself” veg. Probably because I use onions in nearly everything. :) Plus - virtually no processing to store!

“I really got a tremendous kick out of using our own onions all winter long. “

I had hoped to do that, but all my walking onions died a winter ago. This past winter I had some onions a local gardener friend gave me, and I was tickled the other day to see them greening up and that they had survived!

Maybe next winter I can actually have enough to draw from over the cold months!
