Planted 244 onions yesterday and today.

From left to right:

4x20 Red Baron, mulched with chipped juniper, grass clippings

4x16 Stuttgarter Riesen, grass clippings

4x20 Sturon, Wood chips from different old stuff, grass clippings

Did not water when planted, instead hoping for rain

I was too late when cutting the grass for mulching. Seeds were viable already and took over everything. Also right after planting the onions, there have been some weeks of drought which did not help.

This is a surprising turn of events! After all the grass died down for autumn, I could spot the left over onions which made it, so I pulled whatever I could found and some got to a decent size.

This is also a sign that Onions can survive without weeding around them :)
