First seeds go in the ground!

On April 2, 2015 our first seeds got planted in the ground. It is an exciting day at our house. We planted green onion, leaf lettuce, and spinach. The green onion and spinach were planted using our "seed tape" we made a little while ago.

Brian is planting the green onion seed tape in this picture. You just bury it at the usual recommended depth for each plant. Can't wait to see if it will work!


 We also planted some of our regular onion bulbs on this day. We like to use a variety of onions so we planted some red, yellow, and white ones. We bought these onion sets at Home Depot. They come 100 to a box and we also bought some more at our local plant store, Anderson Seed & Garden. We are really hoping to be able to store many onions for use all winter. We will have to make sure we dry them out really good for storage.
