12. I am STUNNED by how my onions are taking off

Fri May 2, 2014, 11:09 PM

May 2014

I thought maybe a couple of the little bitty bulbs would go, but they got so big, I had to get a box planter for them. There are green heads that look like wheat grass after just this much time! I have 40 of them in the planter and it seems like all of them are trying to burst out and get the sun.

I will have another box if I need one if they get too crowded, but I'm so thrilled. My little garden is growing!
