My onions are re-growing

[fricker66 91]

I planted some onions in the spring, they grew quite a bit and the seemingly died.  However, in the cooler weather, they have started to re-grow.  Anyone else?

[fricker66 91]

Still growing.

It's serano season here in NJ.  My plants are loaded right now.

Love serranos. Got a bit more of a kick than jalapenos which I can eat like candy

But not even close when it comes to flavor.

Eh I like the taste of serranos more than I do jalapeños  

[FlyinHeadlock 459]

I don't like sweet onions. Reminds me of the smell of my fat college roomate with diabetes type II. God did that fvker stink. The fumes followed him around like that Snoopy dust cloud kid.

Interesting. I think in my place, we go through about 7+ jalapenos a week for the 2 of us. We only buy serranos for accents on some dishes. Jalapenos are probably my favorite peppers (along with the right dishes that is) out there. I also buy cayenne at certain online vendors to get the higher Scoville scale cayenne for a bunch of dishes.

Hatch green chilies are even better. I can’t really buy too many cause wife can’t take spicy foods while I love it. Down here we just dont get a lot of hatch green chilies like we did in San Antonio 

[FlyinHeadlock 459]

If you're not buying Goya chillies you ain't white.

I overdose on those whenever we go to New Mexico. Went last year and had them with 80% of the meals.

Lol I don’t blame you. Loved the Hatch Green Chili festival they had in SA. Swear when those are in season I go nuts in them. Found some in Charleston before we moved and had to make hatch green chili stew with them. Delicious

Focus!!   This is an onion thread, not a pepper thread.  

[Gladiators 1,903]

Do you have before and after pictures? I’m skeptical.

Yes.  I would say about 1/4 - 1/2 inch for most of the plants overnight.

We are going to need for you to put up a web cam so that we can monitor the onions. We don't want this turning into Attack of the Killer Onions. 

[wiffleball 4,631]

Swear to God, I thought this was some kind of discussion about prostate cancer or something.

[wiffleball 4,631]

As for me, my onions are swinging about mid-thigh level.

 

At this rate, one day I'll be able to just throw them over my shoulder like a gunny sack.

[fricker66 91]

Day 3 of monitoring the onion growth.  They are still growing.

Web cam? 

[The Elevator Killer 497]

Fine! Don't put up the web cam. But when you wake up one day to an onion saying, "Feed me Fricker!" you will only have yourself to blame. 

[Cruzer 1,992]

I've never tried (or needed to), but can you freeze whole onions?

And Serranos >>>> Jalapeños - all day.

Jalapeños do have a purpose - they're what you use when you can't find Serranos.

I endorse this. 

[fricker66 91]

Not quite sure whether or not they grew last night.

Mookz requested an onion update in the trout thread, so here you go.  

As of 2:00 p.m. EDT today, I can report that 17 onion plants have grown taller than 6" on this rebirth.  There are 7 onions that are showing limited growth of less than 6, but are still hopeful.  There are 3 bulbs that are currently above ground and not exhibiting growth but are turning green, which suggests that they may sprout shortly.    

Thank you for caring.

Much appreciated.  

Forum moderator, could we please sticky this?  

[fricker66 91]

Bumped for the TEK.

[The Elevator Killer 497]

Ahh. I see the update. Have any of them asked you to feed them yet?

[fricker66 91]

Growth is definitely slowing now.  I'm waiting for them to start wilting so that I can dry them out.
