Thank you for this post - I have just planted onions and have never grown them before - you have given me some good ideas with the mulch suggestion and how to store :)

They are a large brown onion called Pukekohe Long Keeper. I have done it all wrong but if they fail I shall have your post to refer back to and I shall start again lol - I really want to grow onions coz it's something I use all the time and It would be great to not have to pay for them!!!

I'm glad you are inspired! The sun is shining here today and I can feel spring in the air even though it's chilly!

I sowed some walla walla onion seeds the other day, first time with onions :) I didn't do clumps though, perhaps the red sets I have I'll do that way.
Thanks for the informative post :)

@schoonercreek

Sorry for dropping by only so late. I am entering a phase of very sporadic steemit use due to work.

Just wated to say that I feel always embraced when you post about planting, growing, harvesting and handling vegetables. There must be a secret market gardener hidden inside of me! **whisper.. -and I love shallots!-

Thank you as always.
