Garden is in


Here is an pic of our gardens from 2007. We were much farther along then.
This past weekend we managed to plant (most of) the rest of the seeds and onion/tomato/tomatillo/pepper plants.
We put in corn and prayed. Fred put it 2 inches deep in case our crow or pidgeon friends try to raid it.
2010 finds us behind because of the cold weather, and rainy too. Many early birds lost first crops
so am glad we waited. The days are longer up this way and that helps the plants get a head start
any way. Our trees form a shell so we have more fall frost protection than in spring.
The onion plants worked great. 1-10 seeds per little plastic drink cup (drain hole in bottom), use good dirt,
we grew starting in late March. Some we planted out this weekend in black plastic raised beds..
Leave the 10 seedlings and onions will "pop" out when they get big enough. This happened
last year. I want to see if we can replicate.
Wiped from the heat. Keep cool y'all!
