Heirloom tomatoes 🍅🍅
Organic gardening 🥕🌶
& Urban chickens! 🐔🐓

I like to plant my onions close. In my small gard I like to plant my onions close. In my small  garden space, I want to grow as much as possible, so I fill the borders of my raised beds with tightly packed onions (all grown from seed)...bunching or bulbing, it doesn't matter. Over the season, I "thin" them by pulling every other, as I need them. Here, I have a lovely threesome of Walla Wallas, ready for the grill. Their companions, still in the soil, now have more room to grow. Use your garden space wisely.
