two questions. Which variety of onions and garlic are best for growth in Puerto Rico. were can I buy them and expect to get them to Puerto Rico. Many say they are not to be shipped to Puerto Rico(price for living in the colony). Thanks, C.Foy

Try Baker Creek; I get all my seeds there, I also use Trade Winds Fruit, Baker Creek has videos and they tell you the temperature that the plant can grow in, but you need to research each seed type to see what weather it grows well in. Read the reviews for the plants to see what others say about it. You can definitely grow everything all year round! Good luck

I put a whole red onion into my "garden" about 2mths ago. Now have 5 long stems with what look like flower buds and grass like foliage. Do I separate the stems and replant? Any advice greatly appreciated.

Most onions are biennial, they flower and die in the second year. With yours I say leave them where they are, let the flower, collect the hundreds of seeds they produce and plant them. We grow a lot of perennial onions like tree onions and potato onions. We got them through the post from mudflower blogspot. They have a lot of perennial vegetables which are much simpler to grow than the regular types.

I am a new gardener but I have to live with possums, bush turkeys, mice and wallabies. It has been my experience over the last 4 years that both possums and wallabies would be the culprit eating your onion tips. We cover ours with bird netting. This leaves us with the wallabies that push against the netting to nibble. But they do not get to eat much once the garden is covered securely.
