Salford/Advent Garden Update, April 4

​Greetings fellow gardeners I hope you like rain. We got a real soaking this week. I can only pray the last weeks in April are dryer then the first weeks. Last Saturday a small crew topped off most of our raised box beds with a combination of mushroom soil and homemade compost. We wheeled about 50 wheelbarrow loads into the garden. We also planted 3 beds of red onion plants. These were planted in the beds at the very lower end of the garden and covered with netting.  I call these my experimental beds. Where I try out new plants and ways to plant then. We may be putting more boxes in the upper end next year. I wanted to see how we can plant onions in raised bed boxes. This week I am taking Saturday morning off and going fishing. I am on Vacation next week so I will be finishing up prepping the upper end for Saturday the 13th and our first big planting day for 2024. WOOHOO here we go! Thank you to everyone who helps out with this mission. We are slowly gearing up for the spring and summer growing season. We will be praying for nice weather and a heavy harvest this year.
