How do you pronounce Ailsa?
Comments (10)Tom. Not sure it's any secret, just a schedule which works for me in my area (around 40* latitude at 8300' elevation). I start seeds indoors at the end of January (coming up in a week or so). Usually with temp controlled bottom heat. And they grow under lights for 6-8 weeks. Then I transplant them to a greenhouse where they are mover further apart, and grow under natural light, but with some heat control, for another 6-8 weeks. Until they are roughly wood pencil diameter. Sometimes bigger, depends upon the weather outside as to when they move to the garden. The tops are trimmed back when they move to the garden. They grow outside, with irrigation when needed, for about 4-5 months or so, depending again on the weather. I try to harvest them before temps fall below 28F. If they are out in colder temps than that it does reduce their storage (outer shell or two will be frost damaged). Often I am harvesting them before the tops die back. I cure them under cover, in a barn (and a few times inside the house, until the tops are dried. Then they get stored in mesh bags in a makeshift root cellar. Depending upon the growing season this usually yeilds bulbs of 4-6" or so in diameter weighing in the 3-5# range. Of course some years are better than others. Last year was a poor one; late spring, early fall, and a surprise 20F night that was supposed to up at 30F, so I am seeing some onions come out of storage where the outer layer or two needs to be discarded. But on better years, the onions remain in good shape until April to May....See MoreHow do you pronounce this?

Comments (2)Well, it seems I can't edit my last post which I was adding to when it disappeared. So I'll repost. I asked about Stupice years ago and got an answer I considered authoritative. Here's a copy: edweather USDA 9a, HZ 9, Sunset 28 When I look at the name, that 's exactly what I see, stew-piss. According to Carolyn in her book, Stupice is pronounced stoo-PEECH-ka. Sorry Dave, why it's not spelled in English like it sounds, I don't know. Maybe Carolyn does. I never understood how it's pronounced like that, but since the tomato is from Czechoslovakia they must have different pronunciations, and I'm guessing that the name probably looks totally different written in Czech, and Stupice is just the English transliteration. I grow them almost every year. Here's a link to the entire thread which includes info from Carolyn who received info on the pronunciation from a European seedman with family from Czechoslovakia: https://www.houzz.com/discussions/2177454/stupice-pronunciation So I'm now pronouncing it as stoo-PEECH-ka or as I would write it: stew-PEACH-ka...See More
