Today we got all the onion plants in the ground.--this kicks off our garden season here in central Il.
Next up will be tater plantin'---I kinda like to get them around the "hundredth day" if possible. Good Friday is also good time.
The fall plowed ground did till up good and planting went well!--Cold harsh wind, but we made it!! LOL!!! thanks; sonny580

Hi Gardeners,

90 Red Viking potato seed planted....same with the white and yellow onion sets....12 foot row of Sugar Snap Peas in the ground...yesterday.

Could have planted some other early crops today...............................but too tired. Deer and and small varmint fence replaced. Have to take one end down to get Kubota in for plowing or tilling........then cultivation is done either with a hoe or a walk behind rototiller.

Cheers,
Mike

Wow! what nasty weather. I live quite a ways north of you, and we got the wind but no snow. I hope that doesn't kill your onion crop. I started a bunch of seeds yesterday in egg cartons. Red and green cabbage,brussels sprouts and jalapeno peppers. Never tried starting peppers before,always bought plants, but not much invested,see how it goes. You and TNAndy are the Garden Gods,and I follow your posts with interest and learn a lot. Thank you both for your pictures and expertise.
Bill

Indoor plant growing is good! --a few seeds, a flat/pot/can/etc. to put everything in and stick the seeds in and water/wait! I still need to get some cabbage plants going here, too! Been a busy winter around here for us, so we got a bit behind!
The outdoor cold frame will be started later to get some tomato plants and other stuff going! A bit too cold out there yet to do it now!
The onion plants will be fine under the snow! LOL!!!-- some years back the best onions we ever grew were covered by a foot of snow for a week or more!
We also planted some peas, carrots radishes, parsnips, red beets, and our sugar beets, the same day as the onions!
The weather has been very cold/windy/miserable for a quite a while! Winter just won't let go, YET!! LOL!!!! ---When it does let go,----look out!! thanks; sonny580

Right now we have 28* and heavy snow again! Onion plants still look good! hope they hang in there! thanks; sonny580

At 3am this morning the temp was 9* , and a couple inches of snow.--onion plants should be ok. Winter is about to get me down!---Gonna be a late/cold/wet planting spring again, then dry growing season. thanks; sonny580
