onion-ettes

Pretty nice germinating.

first seeds started

Tonight I sowed a bunch of onions! My first time trying onions from seed. I've always had poor results with onion sets. They make great spring onions, but I never get anything resembling a big round bulb. These are a large storage onion from Burpee. I'd love to grow enough so that I won't need to buy grocery store onions for a while.

In a few weeks I'll add tomatoes to the tray. Onions and tomatoes are the only things I'm starting indoors this year. I'll plant four tomato varieties: San marzano, Cherokee purple, red Brandywine, and yellow Brandywine. Growing tomatoes indoors makes me so happy. It's like a little nursery. Squeal!
