Wild Texas Blackberries
This Wild Texas Blackberry is a fast-growing, perennial shrub that produces beautiful black berries in the spring. The plant is sold in a bare root form and has a growth habit of hedge or canes. It is heat resistant and water-efficient, making it perfect for outdoor cultivation in semiarid and sub-tropical climates. The Root System brand guarantees that the plant is safe and thorn-free, and it is ideal for use in outdoor landscaping. The shrub is a member of the Rubus Rosaceae genus and is commonly referred to as a Blackberry. This product is made in the United States and is perfect for those who want to add a touch of natural beauty to their outdoor space. Blackberries grow best in sandy soil; however, they can be grown in soils that are at least one foot deep, have good drainage, and have a range of pH 4.5 to pH 7.5.
Egyptian Walking Onions
Description:
- Appearance: A unique perennial onion that produces clusters of small, edible bulbils at the top of its flower stalks. These bulbils, often called "topsets," are what give the plant its "walking" name, as they can drop to the ground and root, forming new plants. The leaves are long and slender, similar to chives.
Taste:
- Flavor Profile: Egyptian Walking Onions have a mild, oniony flavor that's slightly sweeter than regular onions.
- Texture: The leaves are tender and the bulbils are firm and crisp.
Grow Zone:
- USDA Hardiness Zones: 3-10
When to Plant:
- Best Time: Plant in the fall for optimal growth.
- Timing: Plant the bulbils or topsets about 2-3 inches deep and 6-8 inches apart.
Soil:
- Well-Drained Soil: Egyptian Walking Onions prefer well-drained soil.
- Soil pH: Aim for a soil pH between 6.0 and 7.0.
- Soil Preparation: Incorporate organic matter like compost to improve soil fertility.
Cooking:
- Versatility: Both the leaves and bulbils are edible.
- Leaves: Use the leaves like chives, adding them to salads, soups, or as a garnish.
- Bulbilis: The bulbils can be used like shallots or small onions. They can be sautéed, roasted, or pickled.
Storage:
- Fresh Storage: Store the harvested leaves and bulbils in the refrigerator.
- Long-Term Storage: The bulbils can be dried and stored in a cool, dry place for later use.
Egyptian Walking Onions are a low-maintenance, perennial plant that can provide a continuous supply of fresh onions throughout the growing season.
