First picture when I found my old onion seeds on Threads
original threads post here
As soon as I found one, several more just kept coming up from under the dirt pile that’s been there for a couple months. These weren’t really coming up through the top of the dirt, or maybe they were because I wasn’t looking for anything that may of germinated that I threw around outside like it always does. That’s why I took so much interest in gardening because it’s something to always learn every day.
The Walla Walla Onions that grew without my care smelled the same as they did in the package; very harsh, very sweet.
Finding onions inspired me to get some very dry dirt and mix with dirt outside after rain
Close up View of my Dry Dirt From Storage
You can’t see it here, but the video in my last post shows it clearly; there is a ton of ash inside of this potting mix. There is also a lot of other things like mulch and wood charcoal from around the yard. The reason I left the mix as I did was because the moist outside dirt from today with the dry variables convinced me that it’s best for saving the onions through the winter to start at this consistency of dirt.
Onions after they were planted in pots
There are 4 onions that I put into the dry and moist mixed pots.
There are two more that I put into the freshly mixed potting soil.
Next assumptions on making these onions produce by Spring
It’s easy to say that plants can survive indoors and during winter, but the truth is that a lot of them will lose pigments and natural beauties which defeats the whole purpose and flavor! At this time, this is such a random thing to encounter for me because I haven’t expected to see them after deciding I was sowing too late outdoors. And I would of been crazy to keep sowing outdoors because imagine if I was tending to a garden with seeds like this all winter; not feasible!
The best thing I can think of right now to make the onions keep a stable life over winter would be to keep them warm and dark and night and try to get them outside to follow the cold stratification and light emissions barebones.
