I heard that you don’t have to plant peas in soil but can plant them in straw. ls that true?
A. Sort of. You can sow peas in lightly tilled soil, near a fence or chicken wire screen, and cover the peas with ten to twelve inches of straw, and they grow great! Peas like to grow up something, so give them a hand. Q. How do you get onion sets to be big onions for storing? A. Onions can be grown from seed or sets, both of which are tough little fellows that can be planted as early as you can get into the garden. Plant early sets or seeds four inches apart and let them grow. Never let a seed pod form on top; pinch it off. In late August or early September, bend the tops over to stop the top growth. Soon the bulb will get bigger. Pull it up and let it dry in the sun for two or three weeks and then store.
