what do use for fertilizer on your onions?


Initially amend the soil with 13-13-13. After transplanting sets I side dress with calcium nitrate about once a month.

Here are some current photos. I need to side dress this weekend. Knock on wood, but no pest problems yet. Everything is looking good. I don't have any plans this weekend during the days, so I'm going to try to side dress and prune the tomatoes some. My cherry tomatoes are overwhelming the Florida weave and getting pretty messy.

Fred's tie dye:



tomato box:



Big beefs:



Sweet millions:



Cherokee purples:



Peppers and cucumbers:



tromboncino squash starting to climb. watermelons in the back starting to run a bit:



Zephyr squash. These fruits will probably rot for lack of pollination. No male flowers opening yet.



Cucumbers starting to climb. Cantaloupes in the back.



Gypsy peppers. These are turning out to be way bigger than any gypsy peppers I've grown before.



Corno di toro giallo peppers (basically yellow Carmens):

I guess that's what I've done wrong but I swear the paper that came with my onions said high phosphorus. But looking at their website it says either ammonium or calcium nitrate depending on soil ph.
