Our 2024 Garden: transplanting tomatoes, luffa, onions, thyme and mulberry, plus some updates

Yesterday, I had my eye appointment, which included pupil dilation, so I had my daughter there to drive me home. I’ll have another field of vision test in 6 months, though probably not the dilation. This will be my third field of vision test, which will give a solid baseline to compare with in the future. For now, the miniscule hemorrhages she can see in my eyes have not really changed, and we’re…

Our 2024 Garden: transplanting tomatoes, onions and shallots

It is really wet out there, but we’re not supposed to get more rain today. I was torn between continuing on shifting the beds or starting transplanting.

I made a trench in the mulch and transplanted the Red Wethersfield onions. Almost the entire tray of onions made it into the bed. All the other beds are bordered with the yellow Talon onion. That leaves the Red of…

Our 2024 garden: Veseys seed order is in!

Today, our first seed order arrived in the mail! It’s just a small order, but I wanted to make sure I had the yellow onion and shallots seeds in, since those need to be started indoors so early. I still have to place an order for the Red Wethersfield onions I want to try again, since they utterly disappeared after being transplanted, this past year! With all the seeds we have left from last…
