Couldn’t resist the pun on that one :0)
In all seriousness, I pulled one of my onions today to see how it was doing. The stalks look great, they are about 18 inches tall, but they are not forming round balls yet. The package says 110 days, which means I should have been harvesting them around mid-March. What is going wrong? Did I plant the wrong time of year?
This morning I’m pulling out winter tomato plants to make room for my summer plantings, and while tilling the soil I’ve come across this white, gooey stuff. I’ve seen it before in my raised beds, and figured it was some residue from our landscaping (we recently had work done). But its here again, and I’m wondering if it is some type of organic matter growing in my soil. Here’s a few pictures of it, does anyone know what it is
I believe in getting a breath of fresh air. I believe in getting my hands dirty, and letting my children get theirs dirty too. I believe in understanding where our food comes from. I believe in wind, rain, sunshine and above all, a force greater than any human mind can imagine. I believe in stopping to smell the roses — or the dahlias, verbenas, lilies, rosemary’s, heck, even the tomatoes!
