onions – Page 3 – Chalet Lang

Rutabaga madness

I haven’t been able to spend much time in the garden because I have a knee that is misbehaving, but I took the kitties out today to see what we could see

Good haul of ginornous rutabegas. This is only a few

Runners have pretty flowers

Another handful of kale and a few squash

Some onions were bolting, so I pulled them.

Kneeed to get back out there

I’ve been a little unsteady with a flare up, but I taped up today to do a little light check on the garden.

Scapes! Squash

Peppers are flowering

I found a pea (ate it)

Runners are running

tomatoes in west e (the ones planted later)

Weeeeeeds

We did a lot of work today. Weeding, transplanting, planting, p digging out the septic…

I transplanted the tomatoes and peppers with potting soil. They did perk up a little after I added better soil and fertilizer, hopefully this gets them back on track.

Planted squashes everywhere (mainly in the slope and lower bed). Moved barbeque rosemary and globe artichokes. Fertilized many things, blueberries, onion beds, lower garlic bed, Rhodies and hydrangea.

Here’s some progress

And some Randy lizards

Early April Progress

Planting onions

It’s chilly but sunny, and we put some onions in the ground. P tilled and put compost down. I put onions into south a and west d.

Onions!

I got my hands on some onion starts (labeled “transplants”) at the grange today. Hopefully I’ll be able to get them planted this weekend.

Is winter over yet?

It started snowing on Feb 3. We got about 18 inches in the following storms, which finally stopped dumping by Feb. 12. Today is 16 days later. That’s the state of the yard.

It’s practically balmy today at 47degrees, but you can hear chainsaws everywhere because so many trees came down. I’m still waiting on the snow to melt so I can see what survived.

I ordered a bunch of seeds today- unfortunately I can’t find onion sets, so I’ll have to try to find some locally.

I’m tempted to take a blade to the blackberry when the snow melts. It’s all crushed now so I wonder if I can murder it while it’s weak… (;

I’m excited to use the new path and soon to be finished patio out back.

First day back in the garden

This was my first day harvesting since my surgery a week ago. (Might have overdone it… /:)

Lots of lovely nova tomatoes and peppers. Def doing those from seed again next year. We are now talking about our canning options, because… The kitchen is already full of ripe guys.
