  1. Thursday I started vegetable seeds. 104 plant . I have more to do but its to early to start a couple of them and I have to start flowers seeds to. Veggies I started red peppers, eggplants, dark airloom tomatoes and San margaino tomatoes, vadelia onions, Swiss chard , broccoli, cabbage, artichokes, green squash, and I still have to do  sugar snap peas, and Italian flat string beans I will plant outside when its warm enough. I haven't had any luck with them last several years.  I'm going to start African large merrigolds, zinnias, impatients, dalyas, cosmos, and I'm not sure if there's more. I have to start cleaning up the yard and I bought a pressure washer for patio and house is nasty. Alot to do .I'm dying to get outside and start doing stuff.Good luck to all of you with this up coming gardening season. Well some of you in warmer areas have already planted stuff. I'm in Rhode island .we can start planting veggies like around may 20th.

  1. I planned on planting less this year. Clearly that isn't happening.My father in law use to plant his garden plus he new people with alot of land so they let him use a big section so he had between the 2 places a massive Hugh garden.here alone he had 100 tomato plants plus other stuff and way more at the other location. In they use to make tomato sauce to last a year plus they did alot of canning stuff. And they gave friends and family alot of fresh veggies. His garden was pristine all the time. Never a weed. I do it differently. I put down alot of straw. I Dont have to water as often and it keeps weeds mostly away and helps the soil be better.

You are making a wonderful garden! I wish I had the devotion to do so, I have started out a few times but never follow through so not starting it this year. Not even my herbs made it last year. . . I'm a bad gardener.

Vidalia onions are defined by where they are grown, and only partially by the variety of onions.  So, even though your Granax onions are the type of onion grown as Vidalia, the actual product will not be the same because your soil is not the same.  It's due to the lack of sulphur in the soil in that area.  Only onions grown in particular counties in GA can legally be called Vidalia onions.
