Celery: use cardboard sleeves covered with black plastic and tied with string to exclude light from the stems.
Leeks: take 16-20 weeks from sowing to harvest. Plant seed out when 8in tall. Plant seed in hole do not refill with soil, but fill them with water.
Onions: allow the leaves to fall over and die back then carefully loosen the bulb from the soil. Leave in the sun a few days so skins ripen. Hang up so air can circulate between bulbs.

ReplyDeleteThank you Kimberly! I think you should try again and right now is a great time to start. What veggies would you like to grow? What part of Florida are you in?
