Depending on close they are and what kind they are, wait until they get pencil width, then you can eat them. John!

Arg...all my seed packets got thrown away.



I planted a row of onions, and I was wondering how big they should be before I thin them. The sprouts are only about 1/2" right now.

Unless they're really tight I pull them when they're big enough for green onions.

Okay...thanks. I sowed them in a continuous row, knowing that I'd be thinning them. So they're coming up like grass. :)
