I tried onions for the first time this season, but didn't have much success. Apparently there are two types of onions, long day and short day. Down South, we plant long day onions so they growth through fall and winter and form their bulbs when days get longer in spring. But they only sell short day bulbs at the big box stores (didn't know until now) so my onions tried to grow through the hot, dry summer and would have formed their bulbs when the days got short again in the fall, had they not gone dormant from the heat and rot in the ground. Oh well, that's how you learn!
I've planted my fall crop now: bush beans, tomatoes, and pretty soon beets, collards, and long day onions.
since i planted everything in pots, i planted green onions, never got a single one. planted seeds, came up, nice green but nothing underground.
i still have tomatoes , one at a time so just for salad. ready to pick 2 small eggplant. saw another one on the plants yesterday.
