  • Planting onions has been one way we save on our grocery bill. Buying onion bundles can cost 10¢ or less, each. Planting them is very simple, pest pressures are minimal (non-existent for us), and they require very little throughout the growing season - some water and regular fertilizer until the onions start bulbing. We think it's a great beginner crop.
    Onions store well with proper curing but we also use them in different canning recipes. Let us know in the comments if you grow onions...or if you will be growing them for the first time this year!

      @@justnina8023 it all depends on your expected last frost date. In North Texas (zone 8b), now is the best time to plant them. You can also start from seeds in the fall and transplant now. Other zones have slightly different timing. ☺️
