I get a status update everyday with a count of the number of onions and an estimated growth rate. It's awesome.<br /><br />Curbstone, I believe they are. I thought they would need to be thinned, and we are thinking of doing so on Father's Day to add the green onions to some salsa.<br /><br />Noelle, I never thought the word "thinning" would be in my vocabulary. I was fully expecting only one.<br /><br />Tatyana, they will be spectacular in a salad. I also have a French Onion Soup recipe I've been dying to try. We might save a few for that, as well.Turlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04466952089423973036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931047177612869157.post-18320953400813016692010-06-17T12:11:07.266-07:002010-06-17T12:11:07.266-07:00Congratulations!

As for your onions, you are right - thinning will give them more space, and they'll be bigger. Those onions which need to go will make a good addition to a salad.Tatyana@MySecretGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15230255354868127650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931047177612869157.post-3902443776871261732010-06-17T11:56:24.444-07:002010-06-17T11:56:24.444-07:00Isn't it nice to have so many that you do need...Isn't it nice to have so many that you do need to thin them?Noelle Johnson https://www.blogger.com/profile/12198931083102476324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931047177612869157.post-52569120986714319772010-06-17T09:46:01.068-07:002010-06-17T09:46:01.068-07:00Your onions are looking great!
