I awoke to rain this morning which is good, I planted seeds yesterday afternoon- so rain is good.  Then I checked my email this morning looking at my daily weather forecast and saw that we might have a dusting of snow maybe an inch overnight.  I just couldn’t believe it, enough all ready.

On the way home from work this evening I stopped and bought a half pound of seed onions.  Got home changed my clothes and rushed out to the garden to get those little puppies planted.  A half pound equals about 40 onions, which I planted in 4 rows of ten.  When I get home on April 27th there should be lots of little green sprouts in my garden hopefully, keeping my fingers crossed.

I took a quick look at my strawberries and they are beginning, just a little to show signs of growth.  It would be just within the last 5 days that all the snow has melted off of them.  If I have time tomorrow I am going to throw a little fertilizer on them.
