So, last year I decided I was going to grow onions. And it sort of worked out....sort of. I actually had a few sets that never seemed to take off for some reason, but on the whole, while my onions were pretty small, they were also really tasty, so I call it a win.
Well, fast forward to today. The snow's all gone, and I went out to drop some stuff in the composter. The composter is on the other side of my vegetable patch from the house, and when I turned to come back inside, I saw what looked like....onion sprouts! So I lean down for a closer look, and sure enough, I missed a few of those unsuccessful sets from last year, and after wintering over, they've decided to start growing. Pretty cool! I'm hitting the store tonight, I will pick up some more onion sets, get them in the ground, and I will see which ones do better.
