We got some red onions from Vanessa!!! 30 of them -- but we're nice people so we shared with friends~ That's one of the greatest benefits of gardening, sharing the joy of both baby plugs and the food harvested and cooked after! There's a real connection felt between meeting new people and between reuniting with the Mother Earth. It's a great euphoric feeling.
Since these red onions grew up in bundles of five, first we separated them (which was like really really really hard to do with their roots tangled together). It was fun like a wire puzzle though! We especially liked complaining about hard it was when we worked on it together -- the fun making of family gardens should be shared together like the pride once seeing the fruits of labor!
After planting them in, we snapped the top green part so that the energy would be concentrated into the red bulb to make it plump and juicy. We buried them an inch underground and that was our garden time for the day.
We wonder how it'll turn out, especially since it's one of the few babies we bought -- each of us students with a budget and time only on Fridays to visit~
Now enough about our garden; how's yours?
