Onion, Walla Walla Bulbing

Allium Cepa This flavorful white bulbing onion is a very important staple to any kitchen. The Walla Walla white onion is sweet and an intermediate day variety that does well in the southern areas of the United States. This particular variety keeps well and can be left in the ground until needed. Small to medium bulbs are produced. Important growing requirements: Starting seeds inside is recommended to reduce competition with weeds. You may also direct sow. Onion seeds have the shortest viability of all common vegetables so make sure your seeds are fresh. Planting recommendations: Plant in soil with compost worked in. When growing onions, spacing is the most important factor in creating bulbs. Be sure to thin them to at least 5" apart to allow bulbs to form. Harvesting and Storage: Harvest onions when tops are brown and fall over. Lift bulbs carefully out of the ground. Leave bulbs in a warm and dry location to cure for 2-3 weeks. Bruising will result in rotting.

Tomatillo, Verde ORGANIC

Tomatillo - Verde P. philadelphica Tomatillos are much like tomatoes and are often called "husk tomatoes". This particular variety forms large green tomatillos. Each fruit grows in a papery enclosure on a single stocked plant. They are prolific growers and can be used in a wide range of dishes. Most commonly used for salsa verde or other Hispanic dishes. Suggested Planting Requirements: Tomatillos can be direct sown or transplanted. For direct sowing, garden beds must be prepped, and soil should be above 60 degrees. If you decide to transplant, start seeds in the greenhouse six weeks before the last frost, then you can transplant them into your garden. Tomatillos love fertile soil rich in organic matter. Add plenty of compost before planting. Soil pH is preferred between 5.5 and 7.0. Soil should be moist at planting time. Watering should be done at weekly intervals and overwatering avoided. To prevent disease, avoid overhead watering and water at the soil level. Growing Recommendations: Tomatillos require full sun for healthy and fast growth. A balanced organic fertilizer should be added before planting in the garden. During the growing season, water at the soil level of the plants avoiding getting the foliage wet. Prune excess foliage for maximum production. Pruning also helps to increase airflow and can help prevent diseases. Keep a look out for pests like white flies which can decrease production. Harvesting & Storage: Harvest when individual fruits are slightly tender to the squeeze of a finger. This may be before the tomatillos are fully colored. You can use them raw or cooked in many Mexican dishes. History: Tomatillos originated in Mexico and are often times call husk cherries. They were widely used and diversified in the pre-Columbian era. Wild tomatillos were found in all parts of the American except the far north.

Bunching onion- Tokyo Allium fistulosum We trialed these on our farm the fall/winter of 2018 and were wonderfully surprised! They grew quickly and to a stunning size of 2"-3" in diameter. Great mild flavor. The bunching onion is one of the most important types of onions in Asia and has been grown in China for thousands of years. A versatile and mild flavor makes it a great accompaniment to any dish. You can grow them in a pot or on a balcony. They do really well when interplanted with other cool-season crops like cabbages or broccoli. We keep ours in the ground until we use the last of them in mid-summer after our salsa season! Suggested Planting Requirements: Starting seed inside is recommended to reduce competition with weeds. Onion seeds are notoriously slow-growing, so be patient! You may also direct sow. Onion seeds have the shortest viability of all common vegetables so make sure your seeds are fresh. Growing Recommendations: There are several different types of onions. Bulbing onions produce a large bulb and can store for some time. Spring onions or bunching onions are typically sown in the fall and harvested as "spring" onions or scallions in the early springtime. Depending on what kind of onion you wish to grow, the growing recommendations will vary slightly. Growing Recommendations for bulbing onions: The key to success is planting them early enough so that they can get large enough to form heads by the time summer or fall arrives. There are three different types of bulbing onions. For success, a grower must know what kind of bulbing onion does well in their climate. We have listed the types below. Plant onion seeds in the fall to ensure production by early spring. Growers can plant inside to protect from the competition with weeds. When the seedlings are 4 weeks old or so you can transplant them out into a moist garden bed or pot. Space out bulbing onions to a spacing of at least 4". The wider the spacing, the large the onions can grow. If direct planting the seeds, prepare the soil with 2" of compost and work the soil to remove any debris that would inhibit growth. Direct sow the seeds and keep the soil moist until full germination. Short Day Onions: Onions that form bulbs when the day lengths reach 10-12 hours. Intermediate Day Onions: 12-14 hours of sunlight required to form bulbs. Long Day Onions: requires 14-16 hours of sunlight to form bulbs. As a general rule of thumb, growers north of San Fransico should grow long-day onions while gardeners south of that point should grow short day or intermediate day onions for a summer harvest of bulbing onions. Growing Recommendations for bunching or spring onions: Plant spring onion seeds in the fall to ensure production by early spring. Growers can plant inside to protect them from the competition with weeds. When the seedling is 2 weeks old or so you can transplant them out into a moist garden bed or pot. Space out spring onions to a spacing of at least 2" The wider the spacing, the large the onions can grow. If direct planting the seeds, prepare the soil with 2" of compost and work the soil to remove any debris that would inhibit growth. Harvesting & Storage: You can harvest and eat green onions in many stages. Young onions can be thinned and eaten like chives while larger onions can be pulled directly out of the soil.
