Onion and Garlic sources and a seed question
| | |

Hi, I have been buying fromDixondale for three years.
Is there another mail order houses for onions and garlic.
Also, do I understand this correctly, if I plant onion seeds in the garden, the frist year they grow and the second year they bulb? Is this correct?
Thank You |

| you are in ct and NOW is the time to buy garlic locally for planting in october. local garlic is cheaper and aclimated to our area. if you can, start onions from seeds in mid february. plant out in april, harvest in august. buy plants locally not from mail order. NEVER use sets! where in ct are you? email me i can direct you to local farmers. i am in nw ct. tom |

| I always get my garlic from Seedsof Change. They've got a bunch of different varieties, and it's nice trying different types of garlic. I was wondering why the second post said to never use sets? I was planning on starting sets out next spring to try and grow onions. |

| Here is a great source for garlic, called We Grow Garlic in Wisconsin. http://wegrowgarlic.com/301.html Super website, lovely people, and they offer dozens of varieties. Best of all, you can buy by-the-bulb instead of the pound, and specify the size bulbs you want! And their prices are below most other online sources. Best online source I have found! TomNJ |
