ONION Seeds are FIRST!
I have grown onions for some time, now, and am finally realizing it is an easy to grow and easy to store veggie that I can use to help me towards my goal of being more FOOD INDEPENDENT!
Food Independence is a process of growing your own food for you, and your family. Not having to go to the store for every last thing allows you to have healthier, and fresher food, as well as save you money, and make your life better.
As I mentioned in my post about my planting schedule, I started with this guide, of the typical plants per person, per year, for a baseline. Because I cook with onion a lot, I am aiming for the higher end, and starting with about 100 onions, in my garden.
ONION I am growing:
Red Wethersfield: A large red, long day onion suited for growing in my area of the US. (About half my onion seeds sown)
Utah Sweet Yellow: A medium sized, sweet yellow cooking onion. White Sweet Spanish: A large Sweet white onion.
Pompeii White: a small cooking onion.
Zebrune Shallot: small cooking shallots
I cook a lot of sauces, soups, etc all winter, and use bunching and dehydrated onion for these.
Tokyo Long White Bunching Onion: A white bottomed, spring onion, or, bunching onion, rather than bulbing.
Red Beard Bunching Onion: A red bottomed spring onion, or, bunching onion.
In addition to ONION, I sowed my first batch of 6 cells of ROMA Tomato. I hope to get 3 sowings of these determinate tomato for three harvests. I use roma and plum type tomato for making a lot of tomato sauce, and salsa.
