Thanks! Another great thing about them is that they are a great forage plant for native bees during the late summer into autumn.

We lost a few winter squash in this recent heat wave in the northeast, I sympathize and echo your hope for some fresh growth!

And as someone with a rocky history of growing peppers and who has a spouse that can't handle spice much at all, I'm super glad you're having a great time of it and will be enjoying peppers vicariously through you <3

Lots of water breaks (not cold, but below ambient temps), cold compresses, sheltering under trees, cool showers, avoiding physical contact from the dog and cat

I've been referring to the lot of us as "Beeple", personally. I can't claim credit, it was how they pinged us on discord for one of the community polls and I just really enjoyed it.

I don't mind so much, to be honest. Like @TheRtRevKaiser said, I'm an old dog in a labcoat on the internet and asynchronous discussions aren't uncomfortable. I have an anonymous account elsewhere and I don't generally check it anymore, because I'm plenty happy with the conversations that do federate here. Besides, being here has definitely been good for my generalized terminally-online anxiety.

Again, but differently in this instance.

If you've got starts of something ready to go, I'd plant those to get a crop into the bed where the onions were and then work to get that crop's replacements ready. Otherwise I'd pick something that germinates quickly to seed out and then set about prepping for the next plants to go in. Depending on what your season is like, you might still be able to do an early summer / late summer / fall set of plant rotations

I'm a fan of walking onions, personally. That said, I'd encourage you to weigh the benefit of having practiced some rotation before it is the plan and ironing out the wrinkles you encounter.

Well boo to the ones that up and died on you, I'm glad you have backups that are doing well. I'd be interested to know what you're thinking when you dig into (hah!) what should go into the onion bed, if you're so inclined.

Hey that's awesome! And I adore your setup, it's very cozy looking. If only my cucurbits were anywhere near the point of having flowers...

Really glad you're still here. I hope you'll be able to catch up on some sleep, deprivation makes everything worse.
