July 30, 2012 By: Anna1 Comment

Harvested Onion

  I always give myself a screw up first year of growing a vegetable.    Well, this was my first year of growing onions.  Let me correct myself.  The first year to actually harvest an onion.  As I mentioned in my how to plant onions, for years I have attended the onion seedling dance party […]

Growing Onions from Onion Sets

July 25, 2012 By: Anna3 Comments

Onion Sets

When it comes to gardening, I am a purist and grow plants via seeds.  Well, growing onions from seed has been very challenging to me.  I just never got past the whisper of a seedling for most of my onion plants.  So, this spring I decided to grow onion sets (red, yellow, and white.)  How […]

July 23, 2012 By: Anna2 Comments

Vote for the Safe Chemical Act

Bolted Lettuce Leaves

With this hot weather, my lettuce bolted earlier than expected.  Once it bolts or goes to seed, the lettuce turns bitter.  Meh!  But despite the seeds, the lettuce leaves look so inviting. This whole bolting concept just seems a waste of good lettuce. So, I turned to my wonderful Facebook Fan Page for help.  Believe […]

Alfalfa Drying

So I got you growing alfalfa in your backyard.  You just cut it down and holding it in your arms.   Then you realize,  “Anna, you totally  forgot to tell me what to do next.” Oops!   I guess I was so caught up explaining how to plant it and harvest it in my previous post that […]
