Perhaps there is hope for the future!!! Let's hope so.

Well, I dunno. Where I live is blessedly void of anything but crusty old 
recluses. But about 5000 feet down the road where the road and the creek form 
a 
Y, is a delapidated old barn, a rocky pasture, and nothing else. Recently at 
a community event (pig killing) one of the ancient patriarchs began spinning 
yarns about this that and the other thing that happened just down the road 
here 
and there. He mentioned the store and saloon and who had been shot caught 
with whose wife back in the 30's. I asked where he meant and he said "Right 
next to you down there where the road Y's." Seems that seventy years ago 
there 
was a lively hot spot there with a store, saloon, and various other nefarious 
goings on. Now there is not the least trace it ever existed.

I planted out my homegrown slips hand width apart in all directions to

Weeks passed and I kept them weeded but they grew not a wit. Then one
day they just took off, grew massive tops, and made a whole crop of
softball sized onions.
