Planting Onion Seedlings. 19 March 24.

 I planted the first row of onion seedlings.  These were the yellow long-keeping hybrid, Patterson.


I started the seeds in January.  They are ready to plant.  These also, are in a high raised bed.  I can sit on my garden stool and plant them.  The soil was prepared last fall and covered with tree leaves, so it is soft, moist, and weedless.


I covered them with fencing tunnels.  Without those, Jays pull up the onion plants.  Sometimes they do, anyway.

I have five more pots of onions, and two of leeks.  I will see if I can plant one pot a day.
