种植洋葱和大蒜，为我最喜欢的菜肴调味

Yesterday on Facebook, 我给你看了我最新项目的照片，并鼓励你猜我接下来要做什么……

如你所见，我有两个装满陶土的罐子.  In front of the pots are a head of garlic (grown in my garden) and onion sets (not grown in my garden 😉

那么，你觉得我要怎么处理大蒜和洋葱?

提示:我不打算在春天收割大蒜和洋葱.

我种大蒜和洋葱是为了用“绿色的部分”来给我最喜欢的菜调味.

大蒜绿是一种温和的大蒜，而洋葱绿是一种温和的洋葱味.

You can dice them, 就像你把香葱撒在蒜蓉面包上一样, 沙拉或你最喜欢的亚洲或意大利菜.

After you snip off some greens, they will grow back.

你可以把它们种在有阳光的窗户前或花园里的花盆里.

In my zone 9a garden, I can grow them outdoors if I wanted to, 但我喜欢冬天在厨房的窗台上种些粮食作物, where there are easily within my reach.

我喜欢在厨房窗台前种植的其他粮食作物包括罗勒, parsley and chives.

When planting the garlic and onion sets, 确保种植时尖的一面朝上，然后覆盖1.5英寸的土壤.

我喜欢用普通的勺子来种植像这样的小东西.

Now all they need is some water.  *一个简单的判断什么时候浇水的方法是把你的手指伸到土壤里，直到你的第一个指关节.  If it feels dry, then water.

Of course, 你可以偷偷溜到你的菜园里，不时地剪下一些洋葱和蒜.  But, 你不会想经常这样做，因为这些绿叶是生长在土壤下面的大蒜和洋葱的“食物”.
