Lots of pretty white flowers popping up in the lawn and by the driveway- unfortunately they are a weed – some sort of bittercress.

Onions, Radishes, and Beets
72degrees! We’re about 6 weeks out from the average last frost (April 23)
I got a shipment of onion plants from Territorial today, a mix of Redwing, WallaWalla and Ringmaster. I’m not sure about the price ($29) value vs. sets at The Grange (~$5 each set) but we’ll see how they come up. About 120 starts total.
*instructions say to plant exactly 1″ deep, and no deeper.
Onions went around west c and west d. Tomatoes will go in center.
West E got a smattering of mixed beets and radishes. (1/2 deep) with space left for the bean trellis.
I also refreshed, filled and top dressed the pots. Planted parsley in one of the hanging baskets (the other has strawberries). A bonus onion found a home next to the borage. 
UPDATE: Squak Mtn Nursery had bunches of WallaWallas for $4. So I guess if I order I don’t get a good deal, but I get what I want?
The Grange had all the same varieties- $5 each?
Plans for 2018
I’m sure this plan will change, and please oh please do not judge the quality of the sketch (I know it’s terrible.) Beds “South D” and “West E” here will be newly built asap. Garlic is already living where it’s labeled, everything else is in flux!
Companion Planting Guides
One day I will know exactly what to plant with what, and why, but until then here is a companion planting guide I look at for advice.
Garlic-ville
Garlic is a good place to jump in, and this year I looked at the ease and volume of my first garlic harvest and quadrupled down. We have three beds of garlic, ready for 2018.
