Ho...Egyptian Walking Onions sound very interesting. How nice that a fellow gardener gave you some 'starts'. I planted onion sets about a month ago and soon I'll start using the onion greens. That's why I grow them. Every time I buy a bunch of onion greens at the market I only use a few and the rest go all wilted and unusable. So I grow my own. We had very mixed up weather today. It was warm and sunny then clouds moved in and it got so chilly.Granny Marigoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15858237999602347848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647919454370211644.post-77224281250440825732021-05-10T13:37:27.880-06:002021-05-10T13:37:27.880-06:00Your post are always so educational.

I just went to the creek and there were so many different birds flying about. I didn't realize you like gardening so much. That's wonderful. The Jerusalem artichoke sounds interesting.

It seems we get a warm sunny wiiiiindyyyy day or two and then back to cool. We had frost Saturday morning and will probably have a couple more this week. Oh well, our last frost date is May 15, so I shouldn't be too disappointed or surprised.JustGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948391538309176039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647919454370211644.post-56433426698517570432021-05-10T06:07:13.239-06:002021-05-10T06:07:13.239-06:00I've never heard of walking onions, but you go...I've never heard of walking onions, but you got some lovely plants in exchange for the lemongrass. What a great deal to watch them grow like that, Holly. <br /><br />Yes, it's still cold here, even though I put a few plants out yesterday. I just hope they grow and don't die from the cold.<br /><br />Sounds like you and your husband had a great time at his alma mater.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647919454370211644.post-72223175379602145352021-05-10T04:20:16.729-06:002021-05-10T04:20:16.729-06:00You made out like a bandit and did not have to ste...You made out like a bandit and did not have to steal any of those plants.

I never did well with growing ordinary onions in our last home and probably won't bother here. We have Garlic in and growing well though, and spuds started, and various veg seedlings. Still packets and packets of stuff tostart but the spring has been SO cold - snow in parts of the country even in May! Not lasting too long although Cumbria and Yorkshire would disagree. Now we have the Polytunnel up we stand a chance, but can't put things "out" yet.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.com
