[QUOTE="Bob, post: 158152, member: 6893"] Awesome Botno Joe, Hope you have great success next year. I could post tons of info that I have tried and what not to try but one of the easiest things to do is You Tube! Growing up on a farm we didn't have internet and all of the good ways to learn. We relied on what our parents taught us. Might have been right or wrong on some things but it's a learning curve. You made my day!

Behind the chain link fence are some of my tomatoes, and where I am standing in my garden I have two rows of onions left to harvest, and next to that are my peppers then the tomatoes again. I normally plant only 300 onions but I planted 400 this year and I'm glad I did. Seem tough to get them to grow this year. City water isn't the best to use but this year not much of a choice. There are tricks to growing onions as well, when they start to come up I pull some of the dirt away from them so they grow more out of the ground than in. Also the tops should be bent over when they start to get tall. Reason for this is, if hard soil it prevents them from getting big (removing dirt), and the tops will take away all the nutrition and water from the onion. Also if the tops get real tall the wind will cause the small roots to break which feed the onion. One of the other tricks as you can see are the Canna Lily's I have planted around the garden works as a wind break. Huge leaves on them as well to give good shade and helps keeps moisture in the ground. Have a great weekend all. I'm hoping to get out tomorrow and chase some Salmon! Bob [/QUOTE]
