onions and celery seeds are planted!!

Yeah! This is my first big planting for my summer garden. I planted celery, celeriac, onions, bunching onions (scallions), leeks, and artichokes.  I also sowed some flower seeds: milkweed, aster, and chamomile. Here is the link to my 2018 planting list.

Go sprouts!! My leeks will be a few more days yet. I’ve been peering deeply into the seed pots, but no little yellowish-green sprouts yet. I fell off the wagon so to speak today and bought more seeds. I really do have enough already. I got 5 or 6 more packets from Johnny’s. Several varieties of peppers, a zinnia mix, orange gem marigold, and that new funky cross between a kale and a Brussels sprout. I was wondering who grows this crazy stuff. Well I’m planning to give it a try.

I fell off the wagon too...I am expanding my flower cutting garden this year....just ordered some calendula and snapdragon seeds from Floret Flower Farm for my cutting garden...I ordered other flowers from them earlier.... their flowers are selected just for cutting...would you believe after the warm weather we had we now have snow on the ground...very rare here on the beach...nw coastal garden

My Bandit leeks came up very well. It took them about 5 days I think.
