How to fertilize Field Garlic

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Field Garlic after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

So happy to share my Green Onion plant, Miley, has matured enough to be able to use fresh scallions in last nights dinner. I trimmed her down and we’re now starting the growth process over again 🥰

Looks like one of my onions might be almost ready to harvest #globeonion #plantsmakepeoplehappy #happyplants

Harvest the green onions for the first time!! Let’s see if I can get these babies to grow again… they smell fantastic!!!

is there Hope for this dried out onion? I left my onion bed with my aunt for 3 weeks and she did not take the best care of my sprouting onion. Does this have any hope of growing further? #vegetablegardening #onions #NewPlantMom

What the heck happened to my chives 🥺? They were being watered correctly and had adequate sunlight… it also started showing fungus but pretty much all my plants and herbs are. I still don’t know why this is before and this is now

She’s been this size for years, her roots seem fine but she doesn’t grow more than this, I was never sure of what plant type she is but apparently the app identifies her as a wild ramp. How do u y’all see her, any tips would be greatly appreciated 🙏 #WildRamp

What exactly is Cat Grass? What’s up guys I recently got this from my local grocery store because I thought it’d be nice to bring a little bit ot outside in for my cats! They literally didn’t care at all about them so I’m choosing to sinply grow it. But what exactly is this ? The card that came with it says it’s a grass mix but I just thought I’d ask the community to be sure ! Also it grows crazy! I love watching it shoot up!

Why does this app say these are toxic? #WildChives I always thought these are not toxic but this app says they are. #EdiblePlants #GregGang
