Guest guest Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Slim, you can grow grocery store onions and garlic that get the greens sprouting. I usually plant the whole thing, then harvest the seeds from the onions. I would starve as a commercial onion grower, but i have enough for scallions and to do companion planting.

Do you think just quartering a few pounds of store onions could have some growing quickly? They seem to sprout and grow roots and greens fast enough on their own in the fridge or when stored at room temp(??). Likely the sharp smell of the onion plants deters the moths from laying their eggs. I never saw a hornworm until I had some tomato plants. And I never saw any harlequin bugs before I grew any collards or kale! > > Thanks for your thoughts, > > Slim > > , " Bev " <bdowns45681@> wrote: > > > > > > Slim I got to thinking , I have no idea if the onions help after the horn worns have come, but they do if you plant them before they come. But it is worth a try. ... [!!!!] > > Bev > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
