Onionology is complicated. Will try to clarify a little: First a little background: "onion" is a huge catch-all imprecise category encompassing a highly diverse clan, allium cepa and other allium species as well. What we are talking about here are bi-annual bulbing onions, grown from seed. All varieties of bulbing onions ultimately derive from the so-called "spanish" onion. They fall into two rough categories, long-day and short-day, based on how much daylight there is around the solstices where the plant is growing. So bulbing onions are highly sensitive to photo period. The first most important thing to know is whether your latitude is "short" day or "long" day. As it happens, Kentucky is kind of in the middle, either might work though long day is probably more likely to do well. There are also a few hybrid varieties called "intermediate" day that might do best of all for you. Short-day varieties are sown in fall and come to full size in late spring. They require more than just low latitude, they also require a mild winter climate, about z7b or warmer, so some regions of KY might work and others not. Long-day are sown soon after the winter solstice and planted out in early spring and are full size in mid to late summer, depending. An exception is the walla-walla which is adapted to the PNW and I think there may be one or two others long-days that can be fall-sown in mild northern climes. So the infamous "sets" are small bulbs grown from seed and then planted to grow for the plant's second season. The plant really wants to bolt and grow seed rather than a bulb. Sets are a scam perpetrated by seed companies. They are mostly a waste of time and space. Buy plants grown from seed in texas next year, they come at just the right time for planting out and the results will be far better.

The dry mix is the new mix. It's Pro-Mix BX. I haven't repotted it yet. I usually dampen the soil slightly before I pot. It did have some issues. After I got the soil washed off, I noticed it. Not as bad as last time, though. I cut away all the iffy roots, reduced some of the leaves and actually divided it. Probably not the most opportune time, but it exposed more that I needed to remove. I think I'm going to repot into some clay pots. After I washed all the soil away and pruned the roots, I sprayed with peroxide. I laid the divisions in a shallow tote on some brown paper bags to air a little bit. I'm usually not big into houseplants because I'm always outdoors and forget about them. This was a gift from a very sweet customer and means more to me. Oh, I threw the old soil away and bleached the tote and all my tools after the fact!

Thank oly chick for ur input.. I was thinking square or like rounded square or maybe an irregular shape because the sofa and chairs have rounded lines not completely round if that makes sense.. I will look again at suitable cylinder type tables.. but I feel like they wouldn't work for some reason. I agree the framework seems leggy..

I like none above. Feel too light. Needs a balance -- visual weight, open, closed etc and a bit of Regency flavor if possible. Depends size and budget. : ) The nesting glass top rounds? Cheapest, and on Amazon, and certainly could work But your whole look of sofa and chairs doesn't really dictate so obviously mid cen .....as Noguchi Kathy Kuo Home on this one : )
