I miss it and plan to remedy the situation very soon. I always feel more centred when I spent part of day among green things. Even when I lived in the city, I had a garden when I could...
Meanwhile, one of my neighbours gave me this onion as a gift two days ago. Her garden has a bed full of onions just like this one...

No, I didn't do a close focus of the veg; it's THAT big. The same size as a cabbage she gave me. I really want to know how she did it, but she's not sharing:)
Or rather, she says it was due to excellent soil care and loads of manure. Maybe she's telling the truth and I'm just being stubborn wanting there to be a miracle "growth food" for the plant.
I'd take her word for it on any gardening tips she has. Wonder what kind of manure she uses?
ReplyDeleteYou're right :)
ReplyDeleteShe says chicken manure. She says when she first plants her garden, she digs and removes a thick layer of the top soil, lays in fully matured chicken manure and compost in the bed, then she replaces the soil, and lets it all sit for a week before planting. She plants seed, usually directly into the soil.
Whatever she she uses it obviously works! What a huge onion.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is amazing!!
