These are my onions. I have about 20 of each yellow and green onions planted here. I am planting more soon as well to keep in stock for the salads etc. These will be ready in about 2 weeks or less maybe and I can taste them already in my salad or for cooking up as a spice etc. Do you love green and yellow onions homegrown? HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Hi GRANDPA BOB! I have been using a lot of onions on my salads and some of my dishes too. And I never have thought that maybe, I could grow them myself. I got the inspiration from you. haha..And now, I will have to call my husband's agriculturist friend on how and where I can buy the plants or seeds. Take Care and God Bless! Celebrate Life!

I love onions. I like white, yellow and green onions. We have some green onions planted this year in our garden, along with some leaf lettuce and some tomatoes. I can hardly wait for these fresh vegetables to be ready to eat on salads and all of my other foods as well. Homegrown is so much better than store bought vegetables for sure.

I tried lettuce my first year in the house but the rabbits got it before it grew too much. Next year I am going to try it again now that I have Buster running around scaring them off. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I know what you mean. We used to have the same problem also. We have a fenced in back yard and we have sealed it off fairly well now so the rabbits cannot get in my yard. That helped alot. I love rabbits in my yard but not when my garden is out.

There's nothing like fresh onions in a salad. I love onions in almost everything! Not sure if I will be adding any onions or not to my little bucket garden or not, but will keep that in mind.

Oh, yes! My friend in Arizona sent me some wonderful Vidalia Onion seeds and I can't wait for them to grow. Of course, I have to plant them first! Onion are supposed to be very, very good for you. I like the scallions. Lots of people just eat the ends but I like the green part, too.

Oh how I wish that I had the room to grow these. I love onions of any type, but the spring onions are my favorite. I am going to have a few tomato plants this year, but no onions. Maybe next year I will find the room for them.

They don't take a lot of room at all. They can be planted 2 inches apart. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I plan on putting in a lot of onions this year. I put onions on everything. I like them on nachos, and on top of soups.

I love onions even though they don't always love me, sometimes they don't even like me. I like the big sweet onions also for onion rings. Really I like just about any home grown vegetables.

I love onion rings a lot. I don't make my own. I really like the onion chips they sell at White Castle. Also theres a few places that sell "Onion Loaves." Its basically breaded onions like onion rings, but deep fried in a loaf like bread. Huge, tasty, and best of all greasy. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Yes....they add so much flavor to everything...and when they come fresh from the garden you can't beat the taste...the ones from the store don't have nearly as much flavor.

Oh I love onions..I remember when my Dad took care of my Grandma's garden for her and we would pick green onions and he would clean one for me and I would eat it right there..For some reason though, out of 4 children, not one likes onions, I was hoping for one to love them..

I enjoy onions. Green ones can be tasty with the right pasta and sauce. I prefer red onions though. They go well in a tomato mozzerella salad. Makes it a perfect dish.

I tried a few onions the one time in Minnesota a few years back and they didn't do too well. They were in the first row that was exposed to the outside and that's the area that the dogs always ended up trompling in, and I think the horses even got into it once. It ended up being a mess. To me, an onion is pretty much an onion, so I would rather save what little bit of real estate I have for something that I really do prefer home grown. If I had plenty of room, I'd plant them, though, along with a few other things.

Yes, I do love onions of any kind. I missed buying onion sets this year - I'm too late and no one has any left. Although it's late in the year, I might go ahead and put out seeds in the hopes that I'll get some green onions.

Long as it's something I already like, I prefer homwgrown to store bought any day.
