I chose the usual yellow onions and I also picked some red onions which will be added to the garden. I am only using a couple of totes for red onions and the rest will be filled with the yellow ones. For now I am only going to use two since these onions are new for me to grow.
Now that my onions are planted it will soon be time to get some other spring seeds planted as well. I plan to plant seeds such as spinach, snow peas, lettuce, and others in the garden real soon. I am just waiting for a little bit warmer weather before I start tilling the soil.
I also will be removing the straw from my strawberry plants real soon as well. I took a peak underneath the straw and it looks like many of the plants did survive over the cold winter. As long as you put a thick layer of straw they should come back every year bigger and hopefully with more fruit. It does take a couple of years before you get a significant crop.
For now I am focusing on what I have already planted indoors. This includes many flower, fruit, and vegetable seeds at the moment. Almost all of them have begun sprouting one way or another.
The best plants right now are my flowers which are some of the first things that I planted this season. Dill and alyssum have been growing for the past month and a half and will be ready to go outside with some warmer weather coming around. I will probably start planting more alyssum real soon because I like to have at least three containers or more of these flowers.
I also have all three tomato seeds beginning to sprout along with melons. I will keep them under the lights for a short time and then soon place them in the windowsill for some natural light. Right now my tomato plants are in the windowsill getting as much sun as possible.
