Bound by an intricate system of ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and muscle, the knee is highly prone to injury. It's a complex hinge where the femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone), fibula (next to tibia) and kneecap all come together.
Start onion seed about 8 - 12 weeks before your transplant date. Plant onion seed about 1/4 - Â½ deep. You can plant thickly and thin at transplant time. Keep the soil moist. As the tops grow, keep them trimmed to about 4. Transplants or onion seedlings will need to be hardened off before planting outdoors.
Wait until about 85% of the tops are fallen over for traditional onions. Then go ahead and bend over the rest. Leave the onions in the ground for 10-to-14 days so they can mature. Choose a sunny, dry day to harvest.
