7 pints of half-runners and enough for us and the guests tomorrow.
The season has officially started.

Same here, Robin. I had them sprout but they died before I could transplant. They had long taproots and the soil was a seed starter mix, so next year I am going to try starting in extra deep pots with some richer soil.My attempt at growing onions from seeds was a failure. I'm going to try more next season, but do lots more research before I do.
Luckily, I planted some sets too and they are growing. Not very large, but I think the clay soil is too hard. I'm going to rework an area and add lots of sand and top soil to make the ground easier for growth.
Live and learn.
Any ideas of what to do now? I think I will freeze them. Last year I made garlic salt, but without preservatives they clumped.
Fill your wheelbarrow with water and push it over to the garden. I can get about 20 gallons in mine....I'll have to wait for a good rain because the garden is too far away for the water hose to reach.
And hope your garden isn't uphill! (Unless you really want a workout.)Fill your wheelbarrow with water and push it over to the garden. I can get about 20 gallons in mine....
This is a very unusual weather year for us. It has been below temp until this week and now we are having a big temp jump. This will probably make all of the cool crops bolt.I'm jealous that everyone is already into harvest on here. The only thing I am getting so far are radishes, kale, and a single hot pepper. At least I have a lot growing, I suppose.
