Gardening~ Cleaning Up the Onion Patch


This year I'm hoping I can grow a lot of onions. Last year's patch got taking over the wild hops in my garden. We use a lot of onions while I cook dinner, which means the more I can grow, the cheaper it is. 
The Last two row on the right are Ruby Burgundy onion spouts
I started sowing my seeds in the ended of December and then most did come up so I reseeded them a week ago. I'm growing Red Burgundy Onions and White Sweet Spanish Onions this year. 
Red Burgundy Seeds and White Sweet Spanish Seeds
 My area for my patch was a huge mess. I had my wax beans growing here last year. And the flower in fount of the fence over took the area. 
What a mess! This is where my onions new will be
It looks so nice and clean now! It is ready for my 48 onion seeds to come. I can’t wait! 
Clean garden area, I will make a row right next to the fence
What are you planting in your garden? Are you clean up the area you are using yet or waiting for it to get a little warmer?

Update on Planting Seeds Indoor

Within the last month I have start to plant my seeds indoors, that way I have great transplants for outside in the spring. So far I have planted thyme, curly parsley, flat parsley, sweet spanish onions, leeks, chives, oregano, lemon basil, sweet basil, red onions, sweet spanish onions, and artichokes. Here is an update on what is going on in my basement for my spring garden. :)

My Leek transplants
My leeks out grow there mini green house, therefore I had to transplant them into bigger pots. The pots they are in now they will remain in until they are planted in the garden.
Sweet Basil on top, lemon basil on the bottom
4 out of 6 of my lemon basil are starting to sprout. 5 out of 6 cell of my sweet basil started to spout. I am thinking about grabbing a packet of purple basil to have in the garden too. 
My chive, oregano, artichokes, sweet spanish onion seeds starting to grow

My chive seeds only 3 out of the 6 pellets have started to grow, but I'll give them more time. All my oregano seeds have started to sprout. Artichokes seeds are starting to come up (2/6). I had to replant my spanish onion seeds, because the others didn't come up. 11 out of the 12 of the new sweet spanish onion seeds have spouted.

Here are my red onion, curly parsley, flat parsley, leeks, thyme seeds that are all coming up.
Red Onion seeds stared to spout (8/12). All the curly parsley seeds have spouted and need to be transplanted. Two more of my pellets with leek seed have spouted; I don't think the last one will. The two leeks need to be transplanted.  All the thyme has sprouted. 3/3 of my pellets of flat parsley have sprouted, and need to be transplanted.

Hope you enjoyed seeing what I'm growing what are you growing to transplant outside?
