  1. Despite the lateness in getting started, the crazy cold, wet weather and my getting another 200 sq ft (~18 sq m) of space, things are sprouting and/or in progress!

    Rows of carrots, parsnips, onions, potatoes and amaranth have been planted.

    This coming weekend/next week, the tomatoes and herb/flower seedlings will go in, assuming the weather outlook is < 50 F/10 C.

  2. The first sprouts of the season in my community garden (allotment) plot!

    White and yellow onions from seed. A first attempt. They're poking their little sprouts up and out.

    Next week, I'll be planting a row of parsnips between them. I'm experimenting with companion planting this year.

  3. Running almost two weeks behind, thanks to the mini-monsoon season we had in the North Midwest US, but potatoes are in. The hill in the middle is just reserved dirt for when I hill the individual plants as they develop. 15 total plants in this row.

    Next couple of days, I'll get my onion seeds and carrots in.
