Garlic and Onions Growing Well
It is still very early in the garlic and onion season but they seem to be growing very well so far down here in Zone 9. There has not been any noticeable bulb growth on either but the green part of the plants seems to be growing well and healthy!
Garlic
I have planted about a dozen Softneck Garlic plants. I believe them to be Artichoke.
Onions
I have planted a little over 2 dozen onions that are granex type sweet onions. I originally planted quite a bit more but have used a few plants as green onions, as originally planned!

Hi.
I’m a student at USF in Tampa and have a small veggie plot in our Botanical Gardens. I planted four cloves of garlic back before the holidays, maybe in November. The greens shot up fairly quickly. Considering the heat here and that the top half of the greens went brown I pulled them today. One is forming well into a bulb with discernable cloves and the poorest performer simply is a round ball which is interesting. They went in as a clove. It seems they might be on the way so I transplanted them into better light and more space so we’ll see. The experience from experimenting and researching is just as delightful as eating the stuff!
