My onions

Growing onions might take longer than other vegetables.
We have had less harvest in a few month in winter but growth of over-winter vegetables like onions is so hopeful that we can expect to have a good harvest in a few months.
Most of the onion bulbs are getting bigger but it's still too early to harvest them. The temperature of this month have been stable and moderate and I have to pay attention to appropriate fertilizer. I make a point of adding a grab of fertilizer mixed with nitrogen and other nutritions every two weeks.

You are going to have big onion bulbs! Do you think nitrogen will only cause leaf growth and less focus on bulbs?

Good point, Malay. Too much Nitrogen is harmful for onion bulbs, which might cause vulnerability to disease. My fertilizer contains phosphorus and calcium, which onions need.
