Last spring I planted some onions that I had bought in a bunch from Walmart. They grew through the summer and were mostly all ready around the same time, near the end of summer. I don’t use a whole lot of fresh onions, so I had way too many. I used what I could, and just ignored the rest. I left them alone when I dug up the rest of the garden for winter.
Winter happened, and then once the snow began to melt, nearing spring, I started to see little green shoots coming up. Even though it’s now officially spring, the sun is still eluding us, and we keep getting random blankets of snow. Yesterday, we had a break in the snow, and it was warm enough to work in the yard for a little while. I dug up a few of the sprouted onions and realized that they had been making “babies”.
Congratulations to me! I’m a grandma!
Or, at least that’s what I think is happening. I separated the few that I had dug up and replanted them in another spot. Of course, it’s snowing again today, so I don’t know what they’re doing out there, but I’m thinking I may end up with a whole herd of “free” onions this year.
I’m excited to see how this will pan out…‘cause I’m all about “free”.
