March 9, 2008- Onions

Angel, Jeff, Margot, Bella.

Started our onions at Rippling Waters in Standish.
We used 13 trays, with 200 holes per tray, 2/3 seeds per hole (will need to be thinned).
We used 2 trays, with 12 peat pots total, planting in three lines.

...for a total of appx. 2800 onion starts. We'll see about germination rates.

We did not use all of our seeds, and had plenty of each seed left over. Looks like we ordered too many Redwing and Ailsa Craig seeds, especially.
