I’ve got onion seeds to start tomorrow in fact. I’m growing the red creole, violet of galmi and some granex (vidalia type) ones this year. Also will be starting some leeks.

Okay, I'll set up the grow light tomorrow and plant onion seed. I just printed off the list of every seed I have and how long it takes for them to get to eating stage - made this list a few weeks ago but didn't print it then.

I have three types of onions. I also have plenty of plastic marker sticks and a good really permanent marker pen for this so I will mark each type.

Hmmm, don't laugh. I have one type seed on each line and on the first page it goes to the bottom of the page - that many seeds. The second page is one fourth full of those I have and don't want to plant.

I think one or more of you people snuck in my house and put packages of seeds in the big plastic bag where I keep them. If you didn't do that, how come I have soooo many envelopes of seeds?

Black Agnes, I may have to rent part of your land to plant a lot of these seeds as I have a fairly small back area. I guess I'm still experimenting. My final selections after this year will be the ones that grow best here and that give me the nutrients I would need if I had no other food. I'm hoping to have food for very early spring, spring, summer, and fall. So, I will be planting all next year to have these various “crops” come in. That sounds so presumptions of me - I hope I get SOMETHING to eat.
