I wanted to put in some of those greens today, but it was too windy, so instead, I put in those scallions, that I started from seeds - the usual Evergreen Bunching Onion, and a new one (to me), White Lisbon. The Lisbon didn't germinate nearly as well, only getting 23 sprouts with about the same amount of seeds in the same type of pot - one of those containers I get 8 oz of mushrooms in. From the Evergreen Bunching Onions I got over 70, though the sprouts are mostly smaller. I just poked holes about 2" on both sides of one of the drip lines, about 3" apart, and dropped the sprouts into them, them squeezed the soil around them. Don't know how long they take to grow, but I have a lot of others, from fall planting, and some onion sets, I planted about a month ago.

The garlic is doing great, due to the rain, as well as the shallots, finally taking off. And you can't imagine those garlic chives! The alliums have all benefited from the rain, and not bothered by the cold I've been having.

More peppers sprouting today, but I waited until this evening to transplant, as they weren't very tall yet.
