I got the onions, chicken litter is spread. Hope to get them in tomorrow Lord willing.

Tell me more about this chicken litter

I haven't got mine yet, but did get an email saying they shipped.

are yawl buying the Dixondale onions direct from them ??? i talked my feed store in Nac in to ordering them and the price is $2.75 / bundle last year...prolly more this year but sure not the HIGH price direct from Dixondale ... i used to order cases for a feed store in Crockett that didn't have a credit card...the feed store let me use their license # for wholesale orders and they would pay me back after the onions were shipped directly to them...a requirement from Dixondale...my advise is to talk to your local feed store and see if they will let you do this...i also did it in Georgetown and that feed store converted buying all of their onions from Dixondale...win / win situation

I order direct from Dixondale. 5 of us go in together to get the price down. My local feed store and nursery aren't really interested in bringing onions in until at least late January and they only want to bring in 1015Y's.

IDIOTS...they don't know how to raise onions...go give them the crapyetr school of onion growing and a Dixondale catalog

Yeah i paid the high price but I figured worth it to get them early and grow them big. I had my biggest onions yet last year.

I got them in the ground yesterday and about 2 or 3 pounds of garlic cloves as well.

Chicken litter is the poopy shavings/feathers/dried droppings from under the roost.

Got my Dixondale onions today. Wasn't expecting them until 1st week in Dec. Guess I have to get the gardens (mon's and mine) prepared tomorrow. Was planning to anyway, but now I have no excuse.

Anyone got a variety of garlic they like for North Texas with BIG cloves? I get tired of peeling the small cloves.... Do any of you just go to the grocery store and buy a head of garlic and use it for your cloves to plant? I've always done that and it works well, just want bigger cloves.

I don't know much about about the different garlic varieties. Mine is from a Czech family here that has been passed down for generations, but don't know the specific variety. I have heard garlic Mike call into Howard Garrett's show and talk up the elephant. Not sure if garlic Mike has a FB or other soc pages. He's grown a lot of different ones.

Thanks Derek, the burpee website sells elephant variety. I may try those, unless I can find an interesting variety in a grocery store soon.

Go time

Got onions and garlic planted. The neighborhood cat "Daddy Cat" is alive, he's just taking a nap.

You gonna overwinter your peppers?

I’m not. Waiting on the first good freeze to take them out. I have like 10 in pots but nothing I like enough to over winter. I’ll just start fresh next season.
