Sowing My FIRST SEEDS of 2026!

ONION Seeds are FIRST!
I have grown onions for some time, now, and am finally realizing it is an easy to grow and easy to store veggie that I can use to help me towards my goal of being more FOOD INDEPENDENT!

Food Independence is a process of growing your own food for you, and your family. Not having to go to the store for every last thing allows you to have healthier, and fresher food, as well as save you money, and make your life better.

Plants Per Person.png
As I mentioned in my post about my planting schedule, I started with this guide, of the typical plants per person, per year, for a baseline. Because I cook with onion a lot, I am aiming for the higher end, and starting with about 100 onions, in my garden.

ONION I am growing:
Red Wethersfield: A large red, long day onion suited for growing in my area of the US. (About half my onion seeds sown)
Utah Sweet Yellow: A medium sized, sweet yellow cooking onion. White Sweet Spanish: A large Sweet white onion.
Pompeii White: a small cooking onion.
Zebrune Shallot: small cooking shallots

the onions at the top of the cutting board are bunching onion, or spring onion

I cook a lot of sauces, soups, etc all winter, and use bunching and dehydrated onion for these.
Tokyo Long White Bunching Onion: A white bottomed, spring onion, or, bunching onion, rather than bulbing.
Red Beard Bunching Onion: A red bottomed spring onion, or, bunching onion.

In addition to ONION, I sowed my first batch of 6 cells of ROMA Tomato. I hope to get 3 sowings of these determinate tomato for three harvests. I use roma and plum type tomato for making a lot of tomato sauce, and salsa.

SOWING MY FIRST SEEDS of 2026 for my gardens!

#GrowBabyGrow #GroVid25




Most of you know, I prefer to grow my own food, locally. It's healthier for my family, and for the planet. I know what goes into my foods, and what chemicals are NOT in my food. Also, It cuts down on carbon emissions, less trucking, planes, trains, and boats, to get fresh foods to my table.

And that makes me smile... better for the planet, better for my own family.

Are you growing and gardening? Are you participating in GroVid26? use the hashtag #growvid26 for your gardening posts, too!

It's time to take control of your own food supply,
your own health and your own lives.

The GroVid26 Challenge:
Grow Your OWN is not just a simple short challenge,
it's about taking control of your future!

Happy Gardening and Cheers,

We love salsa and tomato soup. Same stuff as your sauce slightly different recipes. I know you make salsa too but use a lot for sauce.

I agree that it is also really good when we have vegetable crops in our yard, we can save a lot and we can eat healthy food. You have a lot of crops, I hope you will harvest a lot this year. 😊
