    Hallo dear dale.
    It is a pleasure visiting your blog and youtube chanel.

    I am also experimenting lately with onions and garlics.
    For green onions i am doing the trick jihadacadien does.
    I planted already three of them. two had no luck but
    the third and a leek (same trick) are growing fine.
    within the next few days
    i'll grow more.

    I have also planted a few garlics and they are doing really well.

    I am also experimenting with
    dry onions.
    it may be an unorthodox way but
    as some of my organic dry onions looked so good
    and they have started sprouting
    i very carefully found their centrer

    separated them, put them for an night in water

    and plant them.

    Garlics and onions are out side
    as temperatures are ok.
    If any really cold weather comes I'll bring them in as they are in pots.

    I also have started growing indoors some red hot chilli peppers from seeds
    and they just start all of them sprouting and i am very exited
    as i love hot chilli peppers.

    I have plenty of plants in my yard and a couple of trees
    but i never have grown edible plants except a few herbs
    as peppermint basil and mint.

    i must say that after i saw you and a few more youtube growers
    i got the "call"
    and i am starting this exiting trip into edible plants.

    I have put some photo links in this post.
    i have no idea if you are able to see them as i never have done
    this in someone's blog
    and i am not sure if it works.

    It is even though spring
    is a long way off it is great to be planting something
    and waiting for it to grow.
    (your words):)
    Happy growing
    Ion
