Spring Onions (Blue Onion, Negi)

Honestly, I can't remember when I planted these Spring Onions (Blue Onion, Negi), but believe it was sometime in 2020 or 2021; regardless, they are doing well. I grow them just for their greens. Recently I added a backing and crisscrossed some wire to keep them upright considering how windy it is in my region. This has helped keep the greens in good shape.

Sunny Lettuce (Red Leaf Lettuce)

(12/30) The top two planters contain Sunny Lettuce (Red Leaf Lettuce). I planted the top planter about a month before the second and it is now starting to bolt. I will leave them flower and harvest the seeds for future planting. The third planter contains Pakuchi (Cilantro) and the bottom, green onions.

I planted this Lettuce on 8 October about a month after the second container, along with some beets.

I need to get some more Lettuce growing, so planted more seeds. This is Green Lettuce. It is a loose leaf Lettuce like Sunny Lettuce, but the leaves do not turn red.

 

Spring Onion

(8/17) Got some Spring Onions from the supermarket. I cut the top end off for cooking and planted the bulb. They will regenerate new greens for months.

It's been about two weeks since I planted the bulbs of the Spring Onions (Blue Onion, Negi) I purchased from the supermarket. In total I planted about 10 bulbs. I'll just use the green sprouts and let them regenerate and see how many times I can harvest them.

The Blue Onion (Negi) bulbs I planted a week ago started to sprout. If you recall I purchased these from a supermarket.

Spring Onion (Blue Onion, Negi)

I purchased these Spring Onions (Negi) from a supermarket today. The store calls them Blue Onions, but the bulbs look like Spring onions, so suspect it is simply a cultural adaptation. Anyway, since they had the roots still attached, I decided to put them in water to keep them fresh as I use the top portion and later plant the bulb. 

I planted four bulbs today. Let's see if they generate new shouts.
