Well I screwed up the onions, and my pea plants may be growing a little too quickly for the amount of snow we have piled up outside! Anyhow, since I last planted my onions I have learned that you really want to plant onions in a flat so that they grow almost tight together like grass. When you are read to transplant you then pull each little onion start out of the flat. Its painstaking work but supposedly good. We will see and I may have to get some sets as well, just incase. My older seeds of parsley and pansy’s never germinated, so I emptied those pots and figured I would replant something else in them.
So above you can see that I have all these tiny little onion plants, basically one offs in each peat pot. They have lots of room to grow I guess.
I made it out to the store yesterday and picked up a couple more seed trays and some green plastic pots so I can plant the next round of plants. On tap for tonight we planted a new seed packet of pansy’s, lupine, black eyed Susan’s, Echinacea, some cabbage, and some slow bolting cilantro. We will have to see how my next round of seedling starts take off. Due to the polar vortex and deep snow pack I pushed all my seedling start times off a week. Let’s see if it helps! The next round of seedlings.
