I had ordered 2 orders of onions the first came in Monday. 2nd batch in early May. Now if I can get a couple rows dried up enough to work I can get them planted. I'm hoping for the weekend of Match 22nd. Moon and signs are both good according to the almanac that entire weekend. Hope to get some cabbage and other stuff out then as well.
Also ordered a couple bunches of seed to stock deeper on those.
My first seed order arrived from:
www.totallytomatos.com
Mostly these were heirloom tomato and pepper seed. Still got a couple orders outstanding.
Our ground has started drying up a little. I was able to pull the subsoiler thru about75% of my garden tonight. I had it dropped down to the hilt. Then hooked up the cultivator plow and ran about 60% of what I subsoiled. Ground was still damp, but wasn't throwing clods as I plowed. It's suppose to rain overnight and that should bust it up even better. I'm hoping for some dry and windy weather the next few days. If so I should be able to disk and till bu Tuesday or Wednesday and prep some rows for planting next weekend.
I'll be planting onions for sure. Hopefully cabbage, cauliflour, spinach, lettuce. Most any cold weather crops I can.
BP, glad to hear you are starting to dry up.
As for us we just got a rain storm which knocked our snow banks down a foot or two but now it has frozen again. Can someone remind me why I agreed to let my wife move us all the way back up here? I could be on the coast enjoying some fishing right about now instead of getting frostbite while baiting my hook.
Thanks GM. I'm glad it is drying up a little bit.
Were you guys near any of the tornados the other night?
Nope, not that I know of. Michigan doesn't get many tornadoes.
