   Garlic, Onions and first harvest

   Hi All,   
      
   We had some warm weather earlier this week and my garlic   
   had a growth spurt.  They are now 6 to 8 inches tall.   
   So I figured it was time to plant my yellow onions   
   balls from Wally World.  Spread out a bunch of fertilizer   
   and dug it in.   
      
   The soil felt wonderful to the touch!   
      
   And to my surprise, the green onions (scallions) I have   
   in my feral bin are not 1 to 18 inches tall.  Today we   
   had some snow, that I went out and harvested any green   
   onions branches/leaves that had bent over in the snow.   
      
   And the snow will be a perfect snow watering of my onions.   
      
   So, my first harvest this year was in the snow!   
      
   My berry plants are starting to get some new leaves too.   
      
   I have a good feeling about this year!
