Still time!

Our ground is not yet frozen, so....i bought some Walking onions and multiplier onions....they go in the ground today. will spread them through the beds for great "onion smell" protection. i already made up a bucket of compost, lime and organic fertilizer. these dudes will wake up hungry in the spring, and they need the nutrients,and for the ground to be sweeter. way sweeter. good loose rich nutrient dense sweet soil. well, it;s a goal anyway!

I;m not happy with onion from seed, in our tough soil, so I am going back to the older method- multiplying onions... yup like shallots , or garlic. the walking onions set bulblets on top, which if the stalk falls over, will plant them selves. they walk! you can eat those bulblets, or dig up the cluster from the ground. of course, the idea would be to replant enough to keep you going/increase.some multipliers were famous pass along plants.( the tradition of starting off new couples or new neighbors with things for a new garden!)

you could also-spread more lime or wood ashes on your garden and flower beds...get your seed catalogs and start looking...get cardboard and leaves or strawand cover an area you want as a new bed next year. plenty of gardening still to be done!
