Got a lot of the big garden raked off and burned the other day and last night it looked dry enough on top to till the onion area so I did,---toady it rained! --s'posed to for next 3 or 4 days--- light they said,--BUT they have lied before! LOL!!
Anyway according to Virginia's e-mail, Dixondale has sent the onion plants out for delivery and looks like they might be here on the 23'rd just like they said! NOW for a bit of drying so we can get them planted! Have a 30 bunch case coming and a guy over on the next road south of us wants 12 bunches so that leave us with 18 bunches to plant,---same as last year.
Case lots of 30 bunches is the lowest price you can get them. at the garden store, they want $20. for 1 bunch as opposed to around $3.50 a bunch in case lots.
Fertilizer is out of sight price wise this year as is pre -emerge chems., so we will have to do with the horse manure for fert. needs and a little Preen for the weed control on the onions. Usually have good luck with that on the onions. The rest of the garden might be a problem this year.
