Transplanted yard kale, chard, parsley, and green onions

The chard and kale are in the ground and covered.

The green onions are in a pot and covered.  As the seedlings were dense, I dumped them out into water, and it's true what they say, it was fairly easy to separate them out this way though some I left together.

The parsley is in the ground uncovered.

Hardies have been transplanted into yard

Today I transplanted these into the yard:

- broccoli x 3 (all piracababa) -- with double-layer of tulle

- kale (all dwarf vates) x 9 in north bed and x ~3 or 4 in with the broccolis -- with double-layer of tulle

- chard (all fordhook) x 9 in north bed -- with double-layer of tulle

- green onions x ~5 in with the broccolis -- with double-layer of tulle

- lettuce (Ruby and romaine) -- all the long grey rectangular containers

Left over of the above plants, that can go into gaga later on:

- broccoli x 2 or 3

- kale

- chard

- onions

Tulled the potted green onions

Not sure if it's too late, but today decided to tulle the one pot of green onions.  Used the red plastic support and clipped tulle around it.

Transplanted some green onions into pot -- the only transplants so far

I put quite a few of them into one pot.  The only thing I added was some alfalfa pellets, which of course I forgot until after I had transplanted them, so the alfalfa were added as an afterthought tucked in here and there.

That's the only thing I've transplanted so far.  I'm holding off from most things until Wednesday night's potential -3.

Onions started in PT (the original seeds from the 2016 collection)

Here we go!  First seeds started.  Decided to try only the oldest onion seeds, which are now 7 years old and see how germination goes. 

Leek moth damage (and a worm) in the green onion tops

Dang, never noticed this before on green onions.  But as I was inspecting the window-pane damage at the kitchen sink, and slitting the green onions to inspect the insides, I found a teeny worm.

Final chard and green onion harvest due to yard makeover

Needed to pull out the chard and green onions to complete phase 1 of the yard makeover.  The chard was still going strong, and the roots were 1 foot long.  Makes me a wee nervous about next year when the central bed depth of good stuff is going to be like half that, but, we'll see.

Green onion sets sowed

Green onion sets sowed.  These are the sets that appeared last fall that I saved over the winter.  They look in great shape; looking forward to see if they produce.

Things that are still going strong

Wow, October 24th and so many things still to harvest in the garden.

Big tomatoes:  Several large tomatoes still on the plant, some ripening, some still green. No frost yet and probably not for another week at least, so will leave them on the plant for now.

Cherry tomatoes:  The plant I bought late-season and planted I think on July 22nd has done amazingly well.  Have harvested ~a dozen or so ripe ones so far, and there are tons of green ones as well as more ripening.  Will leave on plant until frost comes.  The Tiny Tim plant has been long dormant.

Chard:  Tons of huge leaves.  Haven't been doing much with them lately, all cooked out I guess, plus my basement freezer is already almost full.  Really should get back to eating all this healthy free food.

Celery:  Still quite a bit of celery left too.

Peas:  See other post.

Carrots:  Still a few sizable ones left, and quite a few immature ones that who knows, might get a chance to grow to good size yet.

Green onions:  The ones in the onion bed had a resurgence starting a few weeks ago, very handy.

Potatoes:  One little patch left that I haven't dug up yet, although with the pathetic harvest from what I've dug so far, not holding out hope that there's much in there.
