I just went out to my garden to dig the onions
and they are all sprouted again. The freezing weather invigorated them.
What do I do now, just dig them and use them like "spring onions"? (I'll have to dig them all before the ground freezes, but that's probably weeks away) Next year I'm gonna try onion *seeds* again. (These were sets.) And I'll plant the seeds this fall just as the ground freezes so /they/ can decide next spring when to come up instead of me deciding when to plant and invariably being too late. Bob P.S. Do I dig my horseradish now, or leave it until early spring? I've never grown it before. |

I just went out to my garden to dig the onions
Yes that horseradish will be around for years. I had some in a garden on my
land across the road. Had to give up that big garden about 20 years ago. Land was used for pigs, then a garden, now a lawn - owners never used the horseradish - but its still there - popping up in their nice smooth lawn - over and over - every year.

I'm in Edmonton and the sets made it through the winter without a problem. I liked the flowers. |

I'm trying to find a garden plant that gophers won't destroy. Would horseradish be a good candidate, or is this the meeting of the irresistible force and the immovable object? |

Don't know about gophers - but the woodchucks never bothered the horseradish. Actually they never bother much of anything in that garden. Perhaps because the other side of the 'hedgerow' was a corn field?? JonquilJan Learn something new every day As long as you are learning, you are living When you stop learning, you start dying |
