Congrats! Are you moving to that town where you inherited property? - ;)

More onion plants have popped up from the bulbs. If the count of 100 is accurate, then I have 70 or 70+ of the 75 onion bulbs I planted, sprouting. I have about 25 really small ones left in the bag. Don’t know when I’ll harvest them.

They survived 2 snows and at least 3 freezing nights in the planters. I can’t believe it.

Good news - my 2 Sweet Basil pots from WM have 4 plants each so I’ve got 8 going. Added a little Miracle-Gro and eggshells for calcium (I have LOTS). I’m going to let them grow awhile so I can harvest a lot of leaves. The later leaves don’t seem to grow as well, mostly.

My RGYO bell pepper seeds, jalapeno, Serrano and Sweet Snacking pepper plants are doing good. Still protected from the Sun under a deck on the bench.

Same for the Cherry Tomato and Sweet Million Tomato plants - under a bench and doing well. Will transplant some but going to let them grow and get stronger.

Don’t know about my small bed garden. It appears all the tomato seeds and strawberry seeds (perhaps) that I threw down there (tomato slices) for compost may be getting their revenge. I planted 4 more Watermelon seeds since not much seems to be happening. There are 7 seeds down there (should be 15 more plants). We’ll see.

But there must be 150-200 plants coming up - all seemingly alike. Will they be tomatoes? Nothing in the yard nearby like them. I think I created a monster with constant lazy composting.

Well, I sowed them.......LOL

No - NOT - moving. Selling the property that I inherited way back in mid - 80s. Delayed sale due to step grand dad needing a place to live, father maybe needing a place to live, and potential for moving there upon retirement.

Not happening - all we have left there are nieces and nephews. Our kids and their kids are here. So we sell and pay off rest of our debt here. Great big relief all around.

Sounds like you have a good start and some interesting things to look forward to.
