Ep. 114 - Planting Onions to Overwinter

This episode we’re going to tackle one way to grow onions for spring, depending on our location.

We’ll also review the Question of the Week, which is actually more of a discussion than a question surrounding the difference between hardiness zone and climate and how growing degree days are affected by each of those. Understanding each of these terms and how your garden will react to each can go a long way toward better timing of your succession plantings in the garden. Let’s dig in!
