Not much to report today, though I was able to get the onion seeds in the ground under a bit of compost. In the process of planting these seeds and cleaning up the patch of the garden which has been overrun by oregano for the last few years, I discovered some young onion plants, despite the fact that I have never planted onion in this area before.. I pulled one to be certain, but plan on leaving the others, not being one to look a gift onion in the mouth..

Began to scope out where to increase the garden beds so that I can have a place for the squash. My current thinking is to expand the side of the largest of my humble beds by about three or four feet so that I can create about four hills of squash.

The compost pile is all but gone now. I did not get the usual huge load of leaves from a friend last fall, so I will have to go buy some compost to fully ready the gardens for the spring growing season.

The last chore today will be to add organic fertilizer to the beds.
