Again, you’re very welcome for the onions; raised bed sounds perfect.
I hilled up a raised wide-row, and planted 150-200 of Bonnie’s Walla-Walla Sweets (http://bonnieplants.com/products/vegetables/onions/walla-walla-sweet-onion) started-onions today...among some other odds & ends. I buy 2 bundles of them, 75-100/bundle. If sweet reds come in, I’ll buy them, too, as they did good last year.
I left the celery in a saucer for nearly 2 weeks, and it looked like it was starting to put out roots, so potted it. After about 10 days in the pot, it suddenly began to collapse. It may need to stay in water longer.
Oh, we finally got a broodie hen; been glued to the nest for 4-5 days now. She’s one of the Black Jersey Giants; and since both roosters are too, at least hers will be pure, but I’ll bet she’s also stolen some of Slow White Cross Rocks’ eggs.
I can now start to thin the flock down to a manageable size, and still have excess eggs. Neighbors flee when they see us coming, and it isn’t even zucchini season. LOL Boiled eggs—I did over 50 last weekend; pickled eggs; 8-egg lemon-poppy seed pound cakes; omelets; deviled eggs; ... egg foo yung .
Monday, a game warden from Iowa & his buddy showed up to fill their last archery turkey tag; been here a couple of prior years, too. Today, the Minnesota Highway Patrol, 3 of them, rolled in right on schedule for their turkey hunting; 2 of the 3 have been here before, also. They’re all really great guys; they also know & are liked by several of the surrounding neighbors, too.
My husband wants to know if you have any pheasant hunting in your area. He has been wanting to get a hunt together for years.
