Jan /Feb is frozen here. .. not sure I understand. .
I didn't quite understand Philip's post either...
I do agree with RpR, though; and one other thing that I noticed this year (although it could have been weather related) was that the sets that I planted earlier than the others (the earliest ones went in on May 3rd, the rest were planted May 22nd) grew larger than the later ones, even though they were all from the same batch of sets. I also left more room in between them than I normally do; it can be hard to make yourself do that, and the same thing can be accomplished by planting closer and then harvesting some for scallions to make room for the larger bulb onions. At any rate, I'm going to try to get all of my onions in by May 1st (weather permitting) next year. (Which means that I'll probably have to start seeds in January...)
