Onion plants

Woo-hoo, my onion plants arrived today from Dixondale Farms, perhaps a bit early, given the recent weather. I had ordered the short-day sampler along with some Lancelot leeks in late January, for delivery this week, so I've got plenty to put in the ground here and at the kitchen garden at work, shown in this post in summer guise.

Hmmph, I see I was enthusiastically writing about planting early peas at that point. Not much chance of early planting this year -- I haven't checked the soil temps but I'm not hopeful that it's warmed up enough even for cool season vegetables.

At least I can hold the dormant onion plants for several weeks, if necessary.
