Spinach Transplanted and Onions Beginning to Sprout Today

Some good news on the onion front they have begun to start sprouting this week and I noticed this today.  They probably began sprouting earlier in the week, but I didn’t have a look at them until today.  Both the onions in totes and the ones in the garden are both sprouting.

I wasn’t so sure how long it would take for the ones in the ground to begin growing because it is much different soil than what is in the totes.  I am glad that they have started growing at the same time and I can easily compare their growth rates through the summer.

Here check out the pictures below.

This is one of the onions that was planted into the ground.

Now it is just a matter of time when it comes to onions because they will be growing all the way up to July when its time to pull them out.

Transplanting spinach is what I did this afternoon.  I didn’t plant all of my spinach, but I did plant the ones that had sprouted first or were ready by today.  If they had two sets of true leaves then I made sure that they went into the ground today.

Once the others get their two sets of leaves then they will be set into the ground as well.  I would say by next week all of my spinach plants will be in the ground.  This is my target for getting all early plants in.

I also tilled part of the garden for all my spinach plants.  The entire garden will be tilled sometime in May as usual.
