My second seed order came yesterday. Bought seedling trays today. Time to start some onions, herbs and flowers.

I stocked up on seedling trays last year when they were on clearance. I got them for $1!

I have a few onions that I found growing in the camp pantry, and I found a couple of blogs about how to grow them. So that’s going to be my attempt at onions this year.

I’ve done green onions in the windowsill. It’s amazing how many times you can cut them!

Yes, when the seeds come in I’ll start working on them. I’m still trying to find a local gardener to adopt me also. The almanac is not recommending to sow out yet.

Thanks for your comment!

Yes! I love companion planting. I tried in bed A:
Borage and strawberries (borage died, strawberries lived but didn’t produce)

Basil and tomatoes (basil did great, tomatoes did not at all).

Carrots with basil and tomatoes

And marigolds for everyone! (Marigolds grew and bloomed til we had a freak snow in early December.)

In bed B:
Radishes and green beans

Squash/zucchini and radishes and nasturtiums and carrots

Various peppers

Everything in bed B died a slow and miserable death.

Both raised beds are filled with sand and top 8” is miracle grow potting mix. Bed B is infested with ants that WILL. NOT. DIE.

PERMETHRIN it is awesome and will kill ALL pesty insects with the right dosage

Is seed math like chicken math?

I -THINK- that I have everything I need. DH’s truck died on the way to a Super Bowl party so he’s finally home after four days, and the assistant is on vacation, so I haven’t been able to check the mail (they have the keys). But tomorrow I’ll get my seeds and start making my maps!
