Man Down!

If these two little green onion stems were the only thing big enough to get hit by hail, then this Farmer feels pretty lucky...


In other updates, the wild garlic onions:



Some frost-nipped garlic scallions:


And one slightly less blurry chard seedling (the lettuces are still too small), Now do you see what I've been saving you from having to squint about...


Oh, and look how I didn't kill that flowery thing Suburban Gardener gave me last spring. The fern, on the other hand, is an entirely different situation...

Today's study break farm projects
1.) transplant chard and lettuce to single containers
2.) start (indoor) seeds for: cucumber and possibly some spinach as a test, since it's not really coming up outside at the moment...


Farm Vitals
Yesterday's high: 48F
Yesterday's low: 39F
Warnings: Heat wave on its way!
Mood of the farm: A little chillier than ideal...
Reason to consider a new career: I had to turn on the heating pad for the tomato seeds yesterday. Really?
