Just the cheap kind you find in a bag at Wal*Mart. I planted plain old yellow onions and sweet onions, but I haven't been very happy with the sweets. Next year I'll plant Walla Walla sweet onion plants, rather then the sets. They have always performed well here.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-77154459359125997532009-06-14T12:20:41.936-07:002009-06-14T12:20:41.936-07:00Your onions look great!

I am keeping a tally of harvest results this year too. Never bothered to keep track of the cumulative amounts before so this will be interesting to see how the year all adds up. You can see my harvest tally at my web site - at this page:<br /><br />http://www.modernvictorygarden.com/2009harvesttally.htm<br /><br />You are getting very good production out of approximately 400 square feet - good work!kitsapfGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-14220726767438067492009-06-09T06:37:01.387-07:002009-06-09T06:37:01.387-07:00That's a good harvest, Granny!

I'm going to be behind you in totals all year long, but I'm still happy with my totals.<br /><br />My style of garden is like yours. Raised bed intensive gardens. I don't do grids. I don't import my soil. It is raised because the dirt from the paths were shoveled onto the beds and tons of compost have gone into it over the years. Whatever planting technique grabs me this year I do. I've never been very good about following other people's formulas. I like to experiment too much.Daphnehttp://daphnesdandelions.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-81682554643616007052009-06-08T21:15:40.498-07:002009-06-08T21:15:40.498-07:00Good question, Toni.

It's rather hard to figure out with the barrels and pots and round unenclosed hills and such, but a month or so ago Dan (Dan's Urban Veggie Garden) asked that question and I estimated it at 394 sf. Since then I've added 5 five-gallon buckets of tomatoes, several pots of cucumbers and peppers..so I'd say maybe 400 sf or more. I don't actually call mine a SFG. It's more like a raised bed intensive kinda SF garden! No Mel's Mix, no grids, some SFG spacing, some rows, a mish-mash of gardening methods.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-5098951204783619432009-06-08T20:53:06.787-07:002009-06-08T20:53:06.787-07:00Wow Annie!
