More Planting

Later that weekend and through the week, we got out again to enjoy the sun and get the garden ready for spring. We all took turns digging up the grass around the new peach tree. Here the hens do their share while enjoying a sun break. Notice the piles of discarded outerwear on the chairs.

Rick tilled up a patch (row 4-A) and we planted it in onions. Rick had ordered up a big batch of onions and we needed to get them all in.

Here it is all set in with onions. The garlic next door in 3-A is thriving as well.

 Rick and Buddy work on getting the irrigation fixed and ready for the new season.

 The radishes are well up in their raised bed.

 And the fruit trees are just starting to bud out. This is the backmost plum.

 On Tuesday (2-8) we went over to Rick C's house to plant the rest of the onions. They had put in a lovely row of lavenders along the front.

 

Rick tills up the spot.

And we get them all set in neat rows. RickC feels triumphant.
