    Near the end Laura wants to show us the topiaries and apologizes because she’s showing us one more thing! 😂 Does she even know us? We are all dying for the camera to pan all over the greenhouse, and have a peek at the projects that we have watched her do! So excited for the new gardening season!

    I am also amazed by nature. I have noticed that we as gardeners often forget that what we’re doing isn’t just an art-form, it’s science too, and I think that’s pretty neat.

    OK, onion planting time. I will do it this weekend. But I planted shallot bulbs in the ground in the fall around the time I planted my garlic, the variety I grow will form multiple bulbs around the bulb i planted, and when ready to harvest, they literally push themselves out of the ground. I love Shallots. I have learned so much from you on growing my own food, and I'm not a beginner. Thank you!

    Last year I attempted growing onions for the first time from seed. I had great success with germination and was so proud of all my healthy little starts with lots of beautiful roots. However, the plants put on very little growth and the bulb part never got bigger than about an inch or 2 in diameter. They were planted in Espoma raised bed mix near my peppers, tomatoes, and beans, which were fertilized (with garden tone) and watered the same amount and did amazing. Where did I go wrong? Do they need more fertilizer and or water than my other veggies? I chose a long day variety which is appropriate for my latitude. Thank you for sharing so much of your knowledge and experience with us. I am the passionate gardener that I am today largely thanks to you. 💕

    Have you ever tried starting the onion seeds in an open flat kind of like sprouts? I start them in open flats, trim them back once , then prick them out and pot them up. It saves a lot of seed starting room. I have even left them close together in the float and them planted them out from there but found they get a bigger if they are potted up first. Also, you had a lot of seed left over. Do you get good germination if you save them for a second year?

    I just bought more onions because I couldn't resist in the store and they will be planted this weekend. Not sure where they will fit in the garden later when it's transplanting time but that is another months problem.

    I highly recommend that you take some of your onions dehydrate then and grind them into onion powder. It is the most amazing onion powder you will ever eat. It goes great on popcorn makes it taste like sour cream and onion flavor

    Hi Laura! can you explain what makes you choose to use a smaller cell when starting seeds as opposed to the ones that you get from Gardner Supply? I think the GS cells are 3x3"). Thank you, love your work!

    Now you’re in my wheelhouse. You may remember me saying I grew up near where you are. On a farm outside Nyssa. We grew yellow sweet Spanish onions 🧅 and russet potatoes (some red potatoes, too) my dad was president of Oregon onion growers association years ago. I am an onion snob and hate having to buy onions and potatoes in the grocery stores. I was somewhat instrumental getting a grocery store in Boise to buy more local onions, telling off their produce manager for buying Mexican grown onions - when the best onions in the country were grown 50 miles from them. So if growing your own is possible, I highly recommend it! 💚💚💚

      I applaud you in SO many ways. I'm fortunate to live in an area where all of the grocery stores support our growers from veggies to orchards. But I'm sure that is likely because of someone like you who stepped up and used their voice in support of all things local, so thank you!

      Kudos to you don't even realize people order produce from far away instead of going local. Go you
