Sadly the weather this weekend and upcoming week is the pits -- cool and rainy. But good for the cold-hardies.
So, today, these went in:
- Onions: First, to the east are the ones from my home-sown seedlings consisting of New York Early, with a few Frontier in there; then the rest to the west are all from sets bought at Ritchies', consisting of (in no particular order) red, large white, normal white, and yellow. All had some kelp, a few alfalfas, mrp, and az. Leafs loosely scattered over top. 9 per square foot with a few leftovers tucked in throughout. Covered right away using the short metal fences and a sheer curtain.
- Leeks: All are from my home-sown seedlings. I used the dowel to make nice ~6" deep holes, into which I added alf, kelp, mrp, and az. Placed the seedlings, then when I watered them in the holes kind of filled up right away. Leaves loosely scattered over top but then I decided I wanted to give them a few days so brushed most of the leaves to one side. 9 per square foot. Covered right away using the short metal fences and a sheer curtain.
- Parsley: ~5 seedlings.
- Celery: ~6 seedlings.
- Crimson clover: In the east part of the southmost bed. Didn't amend the soil at all, just loosely raked it, scattered seeds randomly, raked to gently cover, watered. More seeds were showing than I wanted, so scattered soil over top for better cover.
