Onion Bulb Update

One week ago I planted several onion bulbs.  This evening while playing in the garden with my toddler I saw 6 or 7 little onion sprouts popping up through the soil!  So far the bulbs are promising!

Onions, More Onions and Strawberries Too

Earlier this week I went to WalMart and found they have just started putting out seeds and bulbs to plant. While I didn't get any seeds (I'm holding off for the $0.20 packs) I did pick up 10 strawberry plugs and a bag each of red and yellow onion bulbs. I have a hanging strawberry planter the girls gave me for Christmas so I'll be using 6 plugs in that. I haven't quite decided if I am going to plant the remainder in the ground or in containers, although I'm leaning towards containers. I already have tons of onion sprouts I planted from seed several weeks ago, but can't wait to get these bulbs into the ground to see how much more quickly I get onions.

ONIONS!

When I went out to put my kitchen scraps in my compost bin this morning I noticed some tiny little onion sprouts peeking through the soil!  I've NEVER been able to get an onion seed to grow, so I'm VERY excited!  (Doing a happy dance while typing.)
