Onions for Valentine's Day?

Yes, Onions for Valentine's Day. According to my extension agent onions should be in the ground Valentine's Day weekend. You can find your own garden planing guide here. The actual planning guide states that you have from February 15 to March 10 to get them in the ground. I guess I should start looking for my onion sets. Have you seen any?

We're having fun now!

Finally, the onions are in the ground. They should have been in the ground on Valentine's day, but we couldn't get them in until Monday, February 25. They seem kind of scraggly (is that a word?) but they'll shape up. Right?

The next picture is our source of water. Such clear pretty water......LOL. Aren't we going to have fun!

And then carrying the water up the hill to the garden.

At last, the onions get a nice cool drink.

It is going to be a lot of work, but we don't mind getting dirty. Mostly, we're just happy being on my Grandpa's farm. It is our favorite place to be!

Later in the day my cousin dropped by and we went to watch him fish. He did catch a nice bass that weighted in around 3 pounds. Lucky for us, he slipped him back into the pond so we could try our luck catching him again.
