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.
Then the stalks start falling over, putting a final end to the growth. If you want to use onions right away, go ahead and pick some. But if you plan to store them to use later, you better leave the plants in the ground for 10-14 days to cure.
