Growing Green Onions

It is very hard to imagine any kind of culinary way of life that would not include the onion. A staple of so many cuisines, the onion family members lend a unique savory and pungent flavor to an endless variety of dishes. Eaten both cooked or raw and available all year round, onions and their cousins’ garlic, shallots, leeks, chives, and scallions are hard to avoid and knowing that they offer considerable health benefits, it’s difficult to imagine why anyone would want to. The saying an onion a day will keep everyone away is understandable, especially when you are in my personal space talking to me with heavy onion breath. But you have to eat onions! They are wonderfully delicious and are an extremely healthy vegetable that can be started from seeds, sets, and even the rooted bottom remains of those you’ve just sliced. We will look at growing green onions today but first let’s cover a bit of info about growing onions in general.

Texas Mountain Laurels

We may have written on the virtues of Texas Mountain Laurels before, but because it is one of the best plants for this area, we think it is worthy of another mention. I quote from Landscaping with Native Plants of Texas and the Southwest by George 0. Miller: “Many landscapers consider this plant ONE OF THE TEN BEST IN THE NATION.” Also, somewhere along the way, I remember reading that planting the seeds of Texas Mountain Laurels (Sophora secundiflora) or Mescal Bean around the 4th of July is a good time to do so. The seeds of this plant, which starts blooming in late February, are now ripe for picking. Take the hulls off the pea shaped pods and you will discover red beans. If you wish, you may soak them overnight in warm water or you may scrape them lightly with a file. (This is called “scarifying.”) You might even just toss them onto vacant property, either in full sun or partial shade. This is what I have done and I have dozens of trees as proof that even this casual system works. With some water, once the trees come up, they grow more quickly than I had been led to believe.

Market Days roars into 2020

The first Wimberley Market Days of 2020 happens on Saturday, March 7 and promises all the festivity and fun of past years. These monthly events are the reason that the Wimberley Lions Club is able to fund important community causes like scholarships for local students and grants for area non-profit organizations. Also, tips from the many concession stands and the hauling service, and the Lions Field Wishing Well are donated to the Texas Lions Camp in Kerrville, where disable children from all over the state can enjoy the summer camp experience. For decades, the WMDs have offered shoppers and visitors in town a variety of hand-crafted wares and collectibles, good food including their famous barb-que, and talented musical acts. Headlining at the Pavilion Stage this market day is the ever-popular cover group, Little Beverley and the Shades.

March Into the Garden

Central Texas vegetable gardens can be quite challenging as well as rewarding. Our mild winters and hot, humid summers can be a bit of trouble for gardeners. Planting flowers and vegetables at the proper time is important. There’s a small window of time in spring between the blazing heat of summer and freezing temps of winter. If you wait too long to get your spring garden planted your yields may be low and struggling in the heat. Planting too early and a late frost could ruin all your hard work. The good news is that the time is now!
