The cucumbers I transplanted, look perkier today as they looked flat yesterday, but they aren't as great looking as they were before transplanting in their final containers.
Looked at the Egyptian Walking Onions a bit ago and they are standing straight up and looking strong. Darn, that reminds me I have 80 onions bulbs to plant and I'll use some of the black two gallon pots for that. I can't plant 80 bulbs but the price was so good I bought them anyway - $1.68 for 80 bulbs! I'll get as many as I can planted tomorrow. If all my onions produce, I guess I need to can onions - anyone canned straight onions with nothing else in the jar? Hmm, pickled onions?
The other types of onions transplanted into their final pots look good and the tomatoes look good. The blackberry sticks are growing limbs/leaves fast. The strawberries are growing parts to be flowers. Every plant out there says it is spring. Still have smaller plants in greenhouse that are not grown enough to put in big pots.
Have 21 Dixie cups with seeds in them under the grow lamp. I think I need MORE large pots, at least more 2 gallon ones. I have more types of tomatoes under the grow lamp and they will take up most of the big pots I still have empty.
I'll have fingerling potatoes coming about the middle of March.
I had a stir fry today made from veggies I cut up yesterday with the Mandoline.
I have made pickled onions using the same recipe as for Refrigerator pickles. They go so fast that I have never had enough to actually can them.
I like to slice the big red onions and pickle them for use on salads.
Can you maybe dehydrate onions? Alton Brown on the Food Channel does that but JRFr says that dried foods don’t keep really well (I assume that that is in TX. I’m in TN and it’s really wet here but we’ve done well with dried foods here this year.)
