Onions

An experiment with onions. While on holiday I read about onions needing long daylight hours before the bulbs form, and also that you can get them ready for planting early. So I planted a few punnets of seeds (bolotano and long keeper) to see if it works.

Garlic

Nichols has garlic cloves for $10 a bag, or $2 a clove. There's a free patch in the front garden and as garlic is arguably a herb it can be planted outside of the patch. One clove will go in the empty patch along side some sage (that also came from Nichols).
