I bought onion seedlings that had 5-6 plants in a group. I planted the group and then after 5 weeks, I individually separated them and replanted. Will they suffer shock and die or is this ok?
What type of soil should I purchase to grow tomato and onion plants in? Last year I planted tomatoes and they grew about 6 ft. but not one tomato. Help please. This also was my first garden.
Both require fertile, well draining soil. You can add compost or well-rotted manure to the soil prior to or at the time of planting to help enrich the soil. If you had nice healthy tomato plants last year but no tomatoes, there may have been too much nitrogen in the soil, which will produce lush growth but little to no fruit.

30 days young plant started onion bolting most of the field. How we can solve this problem? I heard, if we top dress with area, it can control. Is it true or any other alternatives to solve this problem?
Thanks,

Mulch heavily around them and water frequently to keep the roots cool. This will help with preventing bolting.
I have not had a garden since I was a kid, but parents just told us what to do. I have 6 rolls about 25 feet long. Is there a planting guide that tells us what veggies to plant in the same roll or what not to plant next to, etc. I heard that planting green onions inbetween plants keeps worms away. Need something that gives heads up for a successful garden.

Want to know when to take the pod off the onion plant to seed and when to plant it.

I don't remember what I planted. It's either green onion or onion. It has bolted to 5 feet tall and topped off with a hugh white round flower head. Is it any good to harvest, and if so, does it need to be cured like garlic before being eaten? The green part is thick and 2 inches around. What should I do about harvesting at this late stage? Also, the green never fell over. Is that expected of green onions or regular onions?
When you are ready to eat them. I like mine small, but let some grow bigger.
My onions have gone to flowers. What can I do?
Members of the onion family are prone to bolting. Here is an article that you may find helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/vgen/what-is-bolting-what-it-means-when-a-plant-bolts.htm
Most people do cut the flower off because it will sap energy away from making the onion bulb. But, if you would like to have seeds to collect and grow, you can leave it on.
If you want to collect the seeds, you do need to let the seed pod dry before collecting the seeds.
