    I have two varieties of onions but no walla wallas....I'll check the farm store next time I pick up some straw and see if they have any. I mulch with lawn clippings and chicken pen straw so everything is ok. Corvalis is a mecca for seeds and seedlings with the Agricultural program at the university there. The old timers around my neighborhood all tell me to get my starters from there and I got some fruit trees that are the best in my orchard. Check online and you may find some bulbs there. Now I'm eating chives which are thriving along my garden fence line and parsley that is growing wild around my compost bins

    Have you named the artichoke plant? Lashanna II?

    Found onion sets online. In the past, the results of buying onion sets out of my area has been below average

    Guess I'll roll the dice, and hope for the best. Thanks for the tip.

    Suprise,,,,

    Woke up to 1/2" of snow.

    No idea yet how much we lost. Probably the orchard fruit trees that were in bloom.

    The 10'x20' greenhouse is packed with veggies. From the house, I can see the roof is covered in snow.

    Very difficult gardening year so far.

    Damn. Sorry to hear it.

    Down to last three artichokes. Eating peas, greens, strawberries.

    Lost about half of the tomato plants, which is ok, I always plant too many.

    Top half of each jostaberry plant are froozen dead, hope the live parts hang on.

    Won't know for a couple of days on the fruit trees, and blueberrys. But they look ok.

    Strange, but the strawberry patch never looked better, and is in full bloom.
