If you are a lover of onions then you need to head on out to your local garden center and pick up a few starts of the famous “Walla Walla Onions. They can usually be found in bundles of little green onions or they may be offered in tray packs. Plant them in raised beds with plenty of organic compost and organic fertilize. Space them about an inch apart which will allow you to “early harvest” a few extra early, which in turn provides perfect spacing for later larger harvests. If you have problems with root maggots you might try our “Garden / Pet Dust” or a little powdered “BT” (this one is organic) If given ample water and they grow fast (this will happen if you have good organic soil) you should be celebrating mid season with super tasty very sweet onions. You may want to stagger your plantings so as to stretch out your harvesting schedule. Well there you have it………………. GREAT onion, perfect planting, and a little garden patience while you wait for your early crop to grow.

Happy Spring Gardening…………. dirty knees, dirt under your fingernails, and a big hearty smile on your face….Dig In………
