- Subject: [Market-farming] Bolting Onion Sets
- Date: Mon, 23 May 2011 07:16:39 -0400
Sorry to ask this, but, I forget (must be all this rain pounding on my
head has knocked something loose!)
Onion sets I planted early in the spring have started to go to
blossom. Just small buds now, but the stems are up there.
Is there any point in cutting these off? WIll I save anything by doing that?
I'm asking because they were planted for a CSA that doesn't start for 2 weeks.
In a normal year, the sets make it into June without problems. My
garlic scapes are coming on, as well. Usually, that's a mid-June thing
here.
I have a few other crops bolting, such a cauliflower (as they say:
only an idiot would try to grow cauliflower in the spring in the
Mid-Atlantic) Strange since temps have been fairly reasonable and on
the low side, at that.
Thanks
