This is sooooo beautiful. I def. want to plant onions next year now. Lot of work and trouble?
SweetDomesticity replied about 1 year ago
@linzelu100: Thanks!  They're really pretty self sufficient once they're in the ground, just the usual weeding and care.  Rori just mentioned that organic lime will make them sweeter, so I might look into that this year!  Last year I ran into a bit of trouble with my onions because we were reseeding our lawn - all the extra water that hit the garden from the sprinkler made it a little too wet for the onions. A few of them started to get mushy, but underneath that first layer or two they were good (we just had to use them up right away).  This year I made sure to add lots of compost to this part of the garden to "lighten up" the soil and hopefully help it drain better if we get a wet stretch of weather.

@Agrarian: Thanks!  My brother picked them up for me at a local nursery, still waiting for him to get back to me with the varieties.

One more comment, my daughter came up behind me and asked "Is she making a rainbow with onions"

@Jentheo: Oh, that's great!  I almost could!  Be sure to thank her for her comment for me :)

Very pretty, you always take such nice photos! :)

@Queen_of_Green: Thank you so much!  I enjoy it and I have good subject matter, so for me it's almost (but not quite) as fun as gardening itself :)
Clenram replied about 1 year ago
@SweetDomesticity...:  I agree with that!
SweetDomesticity replied about 1 year ago
@Clenram: Proof that gardening is indeed an art form :)

@amaranth3: Thank you!  Yes, this photo was taken as the sun was going down making the colors perfectly sunkissed.
