I will mostly rely on money crops anyhow like tomatoes, peppers, and beans but I want to have things like onions available and preferably enough.<br /><br />Deb- <br />I use to hate onions and now I add them to dishes every opportunity I get. It is funny how tastes can change and I think homegrown can aid in that change for sure.<br /><br />Green Gal-<br />You can always 'farm' for yourself and your welcome!Nathan (2af)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17806400763777757289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899789657554034839.post-29555851523816420072010-01-24T14:46:42.138-06:002010-01-24T14:46:42.138-06:00This makes me want to become a farmer.

I assume that you have enough going that you won't have to buy any at the store... that is always a goal of mine.James Taylor Propertieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01200834487039743879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899789657554034839.post-50597368031485824652010-01-17T16:47:17.169-06:002010-01-17T16:47:17.169-06:00I tried to plant them roughly twice as close as th...I tried to plant them roughly twice as close as the 50 cell flats are spaced and I have two flats with the two different hybrids in them. There are many comming up multiple sown but I won't thin them since they are going to get transplanted anyhow. So with all that in mind there are at least 200 of the hybrids but probably many more. There are probably 50 of the bunching onions which is just a wild guess. I bought a lot less seed for them. They are perenial and spread so they will not be harvested this year but instead allowed to multiply for future harvests. I also plan to direct sow more of the hybrids when I transplant to try both methods of starting them indoors and direct sowing. I am thinking I will at least get green onions off the direct sown which are probably more profitable for the space they take up in the garden. Sorry my answer got so winded, I have been mulling all this over in mind if you can't tell and it all just kind of exploded out.Nathan (2af)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17806400763777757289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899789657554034839.post-39049600696896554342010-01-17T11:06:31.289-06:002010-01-17T11:06:31.289-06:00I'm glad I'm not the only one who takes pi...I'm glad I'm not the only one who takes pictures of young seedlings.
