We planted a lot of onions on Friday. 118 flats to be exact. That’s 200 onions (give or take) per flat. A fair amount of onions.
Gladly, we got them all stuck in without much of a drop of rain and now it’s been dumping. Grow onions grow. I’m sure the entire garden will explode with growth once these rains are finished. Out comes the sun and whamo!, everything grows, weeds included. We’ve got our arsenal of tools ready for the moment it dries out enough to get going on weed patrol.
He’s just set on driving this thing. He even loves wearing the hearing protection head phones when riding with me. He’ll be on here before we know it.
He’s quite the happy kiddo. We’re loving every minute of it. Well there was that one minute, but it was only 58 seconds long.
And last but not least, the Cukes are in the ground- having grown much even since I took this picture. We’re aiming to have them here to crunch and munch early early early. Wish us luck, this is another of our greenhouse experiments. (One of the other greenhouse experiments- a success by the way- is all the early Kales and Chards we’ve had this spring.)
So what’s at market this week:
- Arugula
- Baby Bok Choy (The last week for the Baby Bok)
- Braising Mix
- Chard
- Green Garlic
- Spring Sweet Onions
- Kale
- Leeks
- Radishes
- Salad Mix
- Spinach
- Salad Turnips
- Summer Jean
We’re hoping for head lettuces next week! See you at market.
I love finding your garden gifts at the co-op as I can’t make Tuesdays and am waiting on that Saturday market. Eating your salad and vegetables is like therapy for me. I am always uplifted. How many years has it been now since your first offerings in Ashland? Long time it seems. And my parsnip addiction ramped up significantly this winter. Are there any more hanging around?
Still haven’t got around to Premier Fencing – can’t quite figure it all out. Thanks for the tip though. I remain a totally enthusiastic fan of all of you at Blue Fox. Janice
