Going with onion bulbs this year, too. Got the 100 bulbs of various onion types for $3 at WM - hey it was there, so.....first time I’m trying bulbs. I figured I can get 8-13 in each designated pot (a little closer than prescribed).

Got my eggshells outside - waiting to crush them into soil (yet to be purchased).

My farm-to-table will require a walk of about 8-10 feet - like most years. Well, except for the patch down low. That will be a trip of 15-20 feet.

We have some onion sets to put out too. Also ordered some walking onions. Hubby is trying to get as many perennials as he can planted, so that less effort is required going forward.

I got mine at Walmart, too. They're in a net bag hanging in a cool room....waiting for spring.

Have started my Tomato plant seeds in the Jiffy Greehouse. Planted with a couple rows of parsley in between.

I’ve been drying the egg shells then pulverizing them in my dry herb grinder. We’ll be sprinkling them in the tomato pots and in my kitchen garden and wherever the powder is needed.
Squash and pepper seeds in the ground. I’m putting a couple of seeds in the kitchen garden and let them climb toward the balcony. Putting herbs in next week, after my shopping spree. I’ll be planting the melons in the community garden and a couple in my pot garden. My roses are going gang busters, but no blooms yet. You know there’s nothing more fun than digging around in the mud. I love it. The potatoes we planted on Valentines day are up about 5 inches. Nice. I’m thinking of putting in some onion bulbs too, along the edge of the kitchen garden. I’ve also planted some flowering bulbs for show. Hopefully it works out. Trimming my climbing rose, it’s reaching for the sky. Bless it’s hungry roots.
