Tomato (my seedlings are actually reaching the first rung of the cages )
Zucchini (leaves the size of my hand)
Pepper (doubled in size from just last week)
Spinach (salad size now!)
Being that I'm completely new to the back yard gardening box I'm completely fascinated by certain foods and their planting rituals. This week my eyes are SET on the onion. After eating three green onions freshly picked and cleaned from a home garden last weekend my brain has been consumed. When i started my seedlings I did plant onion seeds and I do have about 25 sprouts...but to take my onion adventure even further i decided to take a recommendation and buy onion sets. Since I had never heard of an onion set I began a little research and have learned a lot in just two days. You have three options for planting onions... 1. seeds 2. sets 3. transplants - I need to read more on this one. I think they are just sets that have matured and began to bulb. I've got two of them in action - seeds and sets. My seeds that were planted are about an inch and a half high. Some of them have been transplanted into my garden and I'm hoping they become full sized onions. About 20 or so...
I just came across your blog rather randomly, and your plants and your garden look great! This year I planted my first garden as well (in Cleveland) and meant to blog about it but haven't had the time. What a crazy ass learning experience it's been...
ReplyDeleteBest of luck, I can't wait to see the harvest!
Thank you!! I can't wait to see the harvest myself. It's really exciting learning and I'm hoping my confidence surrounding the harvest grows as time goes on!
