Broke out the unopened box with the “4 tier greenhouse” we bought at last fall’s garden close-out.

Oops! “instructions are just a picture & parts list. Oops! 4 out of 12 shelf supports are missing.

At least there’s an email & toll-free number.

Planting our onion starts (not sets) & couple of other odds & ends later today. Have some things starting in newspaper pots for transplanting end of May.

Asparagus came up , looking great, but frosted when clouds unexpectedly went away over night & temp dropped an extra 8-10 degrees. Can’t trust a 24 hour forecast, but 50-100 year predictions of “climate change” are absolutely trustworthy?

Follow up on the ‘replanted celery’: leafed out great, looked good, so potted it last week. The top continued to grow. Yesterday, it had started to wilt, so I checked it, and NO ROOTS! It seems it was just ‘living’ off of the nutrients in the base, which is now used up.

Hope that you're able to get the missing parts for your greenhouse. Thank you again for the onions ... I'm going to try to put them out tomorrow. They are going in a raised bed, so I don't think tonight's rain will hinder the planting.

Do you think the celery would have developed roots if you left it in a container of water before planting? I have no clue.
