The 2008 season has officially begun! This past monday we planted over 30,000 onion seeds in trays inside our woodstove-heated greenhouse! Sweet onions, red onions, yellow storage onions, and shallots were planted by Sean, Jill, and Bryan with a lot of help from Jill’s mom who was visiting. Onion plants grow new leaves until the summer solstice, after which they stop adding new leaves and the existing leaves swell to make the familiar bulb. But for now, you can see the first germinating onions just popping out of the soil mix in the photo above on the right.
