Early Gardening

This afternoon, my 10 year old daughter Marissa and I planted our first onion sets in our organic raised garden box. I purchased them online at Brown's Omaha Plant Farms, Inc. www.bopf.com I already made an inquisitive phone call, briefly read the instructions, and went to town getting them into their new home. The temperature outside was dropping quickly and I wanted to get back inside. I have been extra cold this winter and it's hard for me to warm up! We only had a few too many onion plants, so I plopped them in some random spots for green onions later. I hope they are easy growers as I don't predict that I will have too much time for gardening this spring. That is, if they grow...I forgot to water them!
