We're having a Santa Ana wind storm today, so I hope my new seedlings don't dessicate.<br /><br />On another topic, I just started a Wordless Wednesday host site for garden photographers. I'm brand new to Mr. Linky, and with no posts yet, it doesn't look like yours. Could you stop by my site and see if the link works?

I didn't lettuce would prove to be so difficult.<br /><br />Oh goody, I was wondering when I should plant out my onions. I think I'll follow your lead.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09303344546714641616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-60885428675762819092010-04-07T06:51:46.836-04:002010-04-07T06:51:46.836-04:00Dan, I have no clue, but I'm hoping I won'...Dan, I have no clue, but I'm hoping I won't. I'm hoping to pick my garlic, but not my onions. I picked the garlic early last year due to the weather and it worked well at the beginning of July. I'm hoping to sell the house and transfer it sometime in June, but that is just a hope. If so there is no way the onions will get harvested as I harvest in August.<br /><br />EG, I hope you love the lettuce.<br /><br />Miss M, lol well they seemed ready to go out and the forecast is for some pretty nice weather in the future. I don't see any frosts anytime soon (not that onions mind a little frost). I wish our 70 degree weather would stay, but sadly it will moderate back to normal, but if we get no frost in April that would just be too weird.<br /><br />Prue, well if they fall over and die (ie the stem withers and dies) it is damping off. I use a couple of tricks. I always sprinkle the surface of the soil with cinnamon before I sow. That helps to suppress the fungus. If I do get issues I spray with chamomile tea, which is also a good antifungal. If it is something else I'm not sure. That is the only thing that ever takes out my seedlings - well that and my neglect sometimes.<br /><br />Lou, it is strange we are warmer than the UK right now. Usually you all plant out before us.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-41289281121868535882010-04-07T06:30:16.554-04:002010-04-07T06:30:16.554-04:00Still too cold here (UK) to plant out most thing b...Still too cold here (UK) to plant out most thing but I have moved some lettuces outside under cut off plastic pop bottles and they seem to be doing ok.<br /><br />Lovely blog<br />LouLou Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06349559305444036113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-34711411021915996122010-04-06T20:50:55.028-04:002010-04-06T20:50:55.028-04:00So much yummy looking lettuces.

My chives, Egyptian onions and a few overwintered green onions are up and doing OK so I figured what the hay.
