My kitchen garden of the least effort

my assistant

I get help like you:

The lazy vegetable garden makes humans and small cats happy too!

if not I observe a wasp which inspected all the cabbages, n sheet by sheet, above and below, I understand the absence of caterpillar despite the presence of butterflies

It will be interesting to see how these onions behave! They are "too big" to transplant them, according to the usual standards ...

In my opinion, they will still take root and since they have not been vernalized (action of cold on development - formation of flowers / seeds), this should work without problem ...

But I'm curious anyway.

Yes, this action of wasps, and ditto hornets, is remarkable ... I came across a nest in ... a punctured balloon and ... my tube mole rat trap! If you don't want to, I pissed them off, without getting stung, however. But I fled at 2 m ...

Little question that I ask myself as long as we talk onions:
We say not to bury onion bulbs when planting, but we do it well with onions to transplant and it grows anyway ...
Isn't there controversy?
At home, I had buried the bilbils of onions and garlic too deeply, and despite everything everything came out for garlic and about half for onions (I suspect the mole rats to have nibbled the other half).

no problem for the rest, I owe it to sicetaitsimple who encouraged me to transplant them, after in the bowl, they would not have changed too much although the largest was the size of a cap while the others were on average the size of a ball

for now I know the yellows have picked up so it should be the same for the reds especially since today it is raining, it will be my vegetable contribution of this year, so we will know if we can let it grow more, and therefore sow earlier to have a bigger development when transplanting

Is the trauma forgotten?

But as Didier says they are large, they could certainly have been transplanted a little earlier. No big deal, at least you will know and tell us.

And the same for the production of bulbils, you will know. Now the question is drying and conservation until the beginning of next year in conditions that are not really controlled (in the temperature / humidity sense as in a seed tree). You will also tell us.

Case to follow!

I buried them, because I did as I thought, so without knowing that it was impossible, I did ...
We'll see

yes we will see, for the conservation of the bulbils, I have the basement, temperature which rarely drops below 12 ° C and it is quite dry

A little in the same genre: when I harvested the garlic, I must have forgotten some, or I lost some, I do not know, but there I saw, that there are stems which grow back, I don't know what to think about it, in any case it is the garlic that grows back.

Let him do it.

this year I cultivated garlic, doing a test
pods all around together, a few inside pods next to them
well indeed the pods inside give smaller buds, but not dramatically smaller, so if you're not obsessed with yields, things go wrong too

I have not finalized my trial on planting summer garlic from my production, but I will do it with winter garlic
I bought 2 heads last year, very nice heads, 12 seed pods planted 10 gave a nice head (smaller than the one bought, but fine) 1 rotted, and 1 split in two, so I will have something to plant for next year

I will buy 2 heads and I will plant the same number of pods of my plant to compare,
