Mine don’t’ get very big either. Not as big as the onion plants! I use a lot of the bulbs for eating onions. I am trying one of those red fiat kinds and a Pontiac onion. Then I have copra and […]

I started mine from seed this year to.
The onion sets I normally buy up here don’t get very big. I think they are the wrong type since I’ve been reading about onions for different day light lengths. I’m […] -

If people choose to drink raw milk then they should be able to. They aren’t hurting anyone. Yes there is a risk for expectant moms, but it is their choice. It isn’t just the raw milk thing that stuff like […]

John finished the railings on the deck. We had to take the deck completely apart and redo most of it. He added on to it, making it huge and it goes right in front of the garden, but assures me it won’t cast a shadow
So thankful he can build! -

I started all my onions from seed this year. I bought some plants from the Amish greenhouse. I take the small ones and save them for bulbs for next year. I try to use all the big ones up. This is the first […]

I hilled my potatoes this morning. So far that’s the only thing really growing. I have some corn, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, and onions going. I planted the onion sets like the package said but weren’t doing well. I raked some dirt off and their doing a little better. I’m really not sure if I’m doing anything right but I…[Read more]

the package always says to plant the onion sets down 2inches, but that is if you want green table onions. If you want them to big slicing onions you just set them in so that the top is barely showing. I’ve seen some that just place the bottom of the set in the dirt so that it can grow roots as well.

Well last night the temperatures dropped down to about 2C. Hubby picked up some more floating row cover/frost blanket and we finished covering everything up. Thankfully we did not have any frost, but I’m glad to […] -

I’ve turned off the program that was causing the errors. So everyone should be able to post in the forum without any trouble. They are working on a fix for the bug and hopefully I’ll be able to turn it back on soon.

This article was in my email this morning. Things like this make me so frustrated! It’s almost as bad here in Ontario. Our government refused to change the raw milk laws and sent a Mennonite farmer to jail for […]

Easy Grammar and Math-U-See. Zach’s math improved 100 percent! Easy Grammar is great and not overbearing.

Well, the 40% chance of rain we were suppose to have tomorrow has now disappeared. No rain in the forecast now till Sunday and that has changed from 50% to 40%. Looks like I may end up watering after all.

We had some rain last night, but it’s supose to be dry until mid next week. I’m hoping to get the potatoes in on Sat if it’s dry enough.

In some areas of the garden it’s powder puff dry!! We are hauling hose and sprinklers out. Have to soak down areas before planting
