Just Some Garden Ramblings

Well it rained about 6/10 of an inch yesterday so today was rather slow. I had to go to a training meeting in the morning for farmers market related stuff. I just finished up for the night planting another tray of cabbage, a tray of cilantro and three different varieties of basil- Sweet Basil, Spicy Globe, and my personal favorite Italian Basil. This seed is imported from Italy, and has a larger leaf than many of the American strains and is stronger in flavor. This weekend was hectic though. Saturday we went and picked up our onion plants in the morning and was able to plant about one fourth of them that afternoon. Easter Sunday we spent the day hunting for eggs, going to church and visiting with family. In the evening when we arrived at home, I was able to plant three different varieties of radishes- Sparkler, White Icicle, and Early Scarlet Globe. I also planted Bright Lights Swiss Chard(yummy) and three packages of green onions. Hopefully tomorrow with the temps nearing 60 things will dry up enough I can finish planting onions.
