You have really been busy! It feels good to do this type of work to get your food, rather than going to a big box store. Think of all the chemicals you are saving your family from ingesting! Keep up the great work as you inspire others to turn to the soil!
Inquiring minds want to know...What kind of onions did you plant this year? Walla Walla Sweet onions are on the top of my list...
All looks tasty. Sure hope the weather warms a bit to help your plants (and mine) grow.
You have been very busy. Direct sowing does save time not to transplant later and worried it will bolt.
Veggie PAK - Thanks, it does indeed feel good to eat the food raised by ones own hand and know exactly what went into growing it.:)
Mavis - I'm skipping the Walla Walla's this year and am sure I will regret it...first time I have not grown them in quite a few years. We are growing Yellow of Parma, Stuttgarter, Jaune Paille des Vertus, Varsity, and Utah Sweet for storage onions and also have a few scallians, bunching onions, and Egyptian walking onions going...obviously, we are allium addicts.:)
Sinfonian - Well it snowed and we even had a bit of a blizzard for a while today but eventually it has to warm up.. I hope.:)
Malay-Kadazan girl - Busy as a hive of bees, which is why I have not been posting too much lately...but we are having a great time getting ready for the growing season.
We are on the same schedule! I have noticed the same observation about onions. peppers, and eggplant. They really need some extra time. I think we will be starting the onions in January as well next year. Perhaps we will try the peppers and eggplant in February too! Great schedule. We are going to print it and add it to our stack seed starting resources
Mike - I will probably continue to update this page throughout the spring, mostly I just wanted it as a reminder on exactly what dates I planted everything.
Mr H boy have you two been busy. Wow I can't wait to see them all growing and green yummy. B
