Spring Onions with Roast Chicken

I really enjoy a good roast chicken and especially enjoy the fact that it feeds me for most of the week! The highlight of using the spring onions to accompany the roast chicken is chopping the green tops and sprinkling them over the chicken. They become crispy and delicious while the bottoms become tender and rich from the chicken broth.

I soften some real butter and rub it over the chicken. Sprinkle some salt. Pour in some water to the pan (or chicken broth if I have it on hand), The onions I simply washed and chopped.

Plant Sale Pack Descriptions

This is a list of our tomato four packs and details on each tomato. 

Before we begin here's some things to keep in mind: 

1. Our frost free date is May 15 so best not to plant tomatoes outside before that day

2. Many heirloom tomatoes are Indeterminate which means they keep growing and growing taller and taller. So we recommend some support for all tomatoes

3. Always best to water at the base...watering from above encourages disease

Scroll to the number pack which is listed on the tag.
