Thanks Amy , that'll work.

I just remember there was one back in the day , maybe at the tomato forum in a special topic at the top of the page named something like : "Variety X, Determinate or indeterminate"

probably got deleted when Houzz took over.

Your listing is way better anyway. Thanks again.

Rick

I hate canning. I don't have it in me anymore. I have a dehydrator, an expensive one (they have an adjustment for temperature, Larry.) I never mastered rehydrating. And never learned to use the powders I made. So freezing is better for me. Larry you can throw the onions in a food processor. They get a little mushy but when you're in a hurry to freeze them, it works. There are a number of products that will chop them. I have a thing you push on and it makes little squares or there's the old fashioned jar with a chopping blade inside. I even own onion goggles to keep from crying.

One point I would remind you of is that walking onions are stronger tasting than bulbing onions so you need less. I'm not sure how strong bunching onions are in comparison.

Ron put up the light shelves (new shelves!) Now it's up to me to start the seeds.

Most of my herbs are up. That gives me so much hope. I harvested spinach, pea shoots, garlic chives and broccoli raab for a little salad. Then I cooked mustard greens, garlic chives and one onion leaf. It was delicious but I need alot more greens.

I up potted 12 Beefsteak, and planned to up pot about the same amount of Roma, then I got to hurting and decided to come back to the recliner. Madge would probably tell you that it was the junk I tried to make for lunch. I tried to make some onion soup, I don't even like onion soup, but this was the best that I have ever tried to eat, it looked more like onion gravy, but with a little more spicing up it was okay. But, when you have onions growing in 3 different gardens, you need to come up with a way to use them.


I noticed that the California Wonder that I seeded on the 10th. already has 20/36 popping through the soil. I will have to up pot them sooner than normal because I planted them in a plastic salad container that is very shallow.
