Several months ago, a friend here told me he was ordering onion sets and asked if I’d like to go in on an order. I’ve only grown small green onions before, but of course, I said yes.

Then last Friday, I got a call — the onions had arrived! How exciting.

So today, after pouring 10 loads of cement with Brad for the new greenhouse, I planted onions. The onions were a mix of short day onions — Texas 1015Y Super Sweet (yellow), Texas Early White, and Red Creole. I believe I planted about 120 of them. It was good to get my hands in the dirt again.

We’ll see how they turn out. This should be another crop that will last most of the winter.
