Onions from seed.



Our first attempt at growing onions from seed was fairly successful. The seedlings were started indoors some time in February. We grew way more than pictured here. The bulbs just filled out completely over the past month and they have been maturing almost in batches.  Last year I had enough onions to last until the chives burst through the snow and am hoping for a similar outcome. The loft in our shop is the perfect place to hang onions, garlic and shallots to dry. The smell of onion has permeated the  loft and I secretly hope it stays.
