I ordered some Green Mountain & Yellow Potato Onions from ebay on Last week & received them a few days ago. The seller threw in a small pack of Bulgarian Giant Leek seeds. Leeks are one of those things I've been meaning to try, but never got around to. But these leeks are the biggest things I've ever seen: http://turkeysong.wordpress.co... I think I probably need to get those seeds in the ground right now.
I guess I should also plant the potato onions now. Here's a pic of the onions I received. Green Mountain on the right & Yellow on the left. There really is an appreciable difference in size.

Watered my onions seed beds, planted 5 days ago. On the lookout for any sprouts and I thought I saw some green, but I don't want to be optimistic. Also planted some of the Bulgarian Giant Leek seeds that were given to me when I bought the potato onions on eBay. I've never grown leeks before, never even tasted them. My Mom grew up on a farm where they grew leeks & she hated them, so they were never in the house. We'll see what happens.
I'm excited about the potato onions I ordered. I probably need to get them into the ground in the next few weeks. I'll probably use one end of the onion beds since the growing needs seem to be similar. Here's a pic of the potato onions I received. Green Mountain on the right & Yellow on the left. There really is an appreciable difference in size.
