Planting Onions 2007.

http://onions.notlong.com/

29 March 2007 Zone 5. Onions are put in as soon at the ground can be worked. The end of the garden chosen was sufficiently dry to cultivate, so four twelve foot rows of onions were planted. Two rows of Red Onions,and two rows of Spanish White Onions, about 200 bulbs total were planted. The small Honda cultivator was used to condition the soil. Neena, a Pomeranian, got her hair clipped yesterday, and showed an interest in all the proceedings.

In 2006 Spanish Onions were grown and they had a hot taste. Mentioning this to an experienced vegetable grower, I was told that fully exposing the bulbs to sun in the later stages of growth would produce larger bulbs and there would be no "heat" left in the bulbs. The bulbs tend to grow out of the soil anyway, so I scraped around the bulbs and exposed all except the roots. When the onions are harvested it can be determined if the "heat" is removed. The onions now are larger than what was produced in 2006 and are still growing.
