Email said craper because that's what it was when I hit the send button but then edited it. You'll only get the original email.

Yeah I hammer down the day after Thanksgiving. You're the one that got me starting early. And it has turned out great. I have onions left over too.

Crapyetr what's the 2021 farmers almanac say about planting onions/garlic this year?

the 1st shipment of onions is Nov 15 and you won't get them until the 17th so here's what the almanac says

https://www.farmersalmanac.com/calendar/gardening#2021-10-25

21st – 23rd
Start seedbeds and flower gardens. Good days for transplanting. Best planting days for fall potatoes, turnips, onions, carrots, beets, and other root crops where climate is suitable.

that's as far as the dates go right now, but that would be the soonest to put'm n the ground if u have'm...save the link and look after u get the onions delivered

Ordered some more of the Legends but trying a red one this year too. Crapyetr do you use the trench planting method with the bone meal like Dixondale recommends?

i plant mine 4" apart, staggered, with a soaker hose in the middle...i use this starter they recommend...this bag will last FOREVER...use only at planting time...then 21-0-0 every 3 weeks until they bulb...and water/water/water

Bone meal is meh at best. But I don't see where they recommend it. All I see is them recommending 10-20-10 then Ammonium Sulfate after that.

Any of yall near Brownsboro want some strawberry plants? Inthinned my raised bed, have 10 2 qt pots stuffes full of loose plants that i need to give away. I planted a 30' double row and re set the bed for next year. I can probably find homes for half on my own. Just dont know what to do with them.

Is your garage you keep yours in hot?

i put some in knee hi panty hose and hang'm n my store room...some i put in the ice box n the garage...others i lay out in my garage on a table...yes it perty warm...the best way is the panty hose method

Peppers done. Cayenne plant put out tons of peppers. Jalapenos and poblanos not as much yield. Pepper sauce and hot sauce making done for the year.

Tuesday is onion day.

Nice! I've taking the last couple years off of Cayennes and tabasco too. Going to grow them next year.

Mine ship in two weeks. Gotta get my beds cleaned up and ready.

We haven't even hit winter and I'm already bored. So I started to layout my garden for next year.

Tomatos:

Martinos
San Marzano
Tycoon

Cucumbers:

H19
Jackson little leaf

Onions and Garlic:

Dixondale Texas Legends and Red Creole

Garlic – Don’t know the specific variety. It was given to me

Peppers:

Goliath Jalapeno
Tabasco
Chile De Arbol
Freeport Scotch Bonnet
P. Dreadie Scotch Bonnet
Peppadew (wife wants these)

I have spots for 2 more peppers haven’t decided which. Probably KS Lemmon Starburst and not sure on the other.

Once I pull the onions and garlic I’ll plant blackeye peas. Specific variety will be Pinkeye Quick Pick Southern. And maybe squash.
