If you start it in a bucket, given your climate, you might have onions in fall.Meg B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07787702814280004076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-26447801444634064282014-01-13T00:39:41.513-06:002014-01-13T00:39:41.513-06:00Just stiff it in the ground and hope.

I was told by friends who have a farmstand that what I needed to do was harvest the seeds from the flowers and then plant those, starting in a greenhouse in Feb. to get onions.

And may get benefit even now - with nothing really to lose.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.com
