Oh, close enough to spring… It’s 70 here today! And we went and got a load of turkey manure compost yesterday. We shoveled it from the “shovel your own bags” place. I know. The jealousy truly rages when you compare your life to mine, doesn’t it???

I managed to spread about three of the bags and get tomatoes and snap peas in pots for seedlings. I worked on a row that was going to be onions. I had originally put in some cheap dirt from Home Depot mixed with mulch. Well, the dirt was all lousy, fine-particle sand/clay so it sunk to the bottom and clumped. The mulch glued itself to the top. Bother. I mixed it all up, watered it and added some composted turkey manure and turned it into a row of lettuce. I’m out of 1015Y onion seeds. About half came up. The biggest problem is that they are expensive and they don’t put enough in the little bags they sell. I bet there weren’t more than 20 seeds. Hmph. I have to keep the turkey compost from getting too close to the onions. If onions get too much fertilizer, they form great green tops and tiny little bulbs…

Spring is on its way! I can’t wait to eat!!!
