Onion sets!

So we just barely missed a spring snow storm and got our onion sets in!  A couple of weeks ago we put our onions in, and only a day later it snowed, the weather has been odd to say the least, but it feels much more like spring now.

 

This claw actually really works well, loosening up the dirt was quick and easy.  We did a quick till over parts of the garden in the fall before we sowed the oats, so that helped too.  The now dead and dried oats came out easily as well.

 

 We're planting these onions beside the garlic.

White onion sets from Tregunno Seeds.

Sets get planted one at a time...

...and are covered with the dry oats for protection (good thing too, we were not expecting the aforementioned snow!)

A little water and they're ready to grow!
