    That's my understanding. I've not had much luck with garlic though.

    Chris, I'll bet you start eating more veggies when you start growing your own. They just all seem to taste better.

    Those bunching onions will keep producing for years if they're the type I'm thinking of. Don't forget the pix. We need a before and after.

    We start our onions and garlic in the fall. They are much like a tulip, the bulb doesn't go dormant in he winter.
