Raised-Bed Square Foot Planters in the Garden:
Yesterday I weeded one of the six raised bed square foot garden planters. It’s 4 feet x 4 feet.
Today we bought two bunches of Sweet Red Onions and I got them planted. Since they’ll stay where they are until they are ready for harvest (August or after) I planted them without stringing strings across to make ‘squares’ for planting. I just tried to give them room enough to expand to be good-sized, small sweet onions. I spread some fertilizer in the planter and then watered them.
I think they’ll make it through any freezes we have between now and spring, but, just in case, I can spread a king-sized sheet over the planter for protection.
I’ll try to weed one planter each good day, so hopefully they’ll all be ready to receive plants soon.

Greenhouse:
Two of the covered seed starters had water beading on the inside – a good thing.
This one was dry, even with the cover. I sprayed the plants with water again and used a different cover. Hopefully, it will hold the moisture in.
I’m not sure how long it takes for the seeds to sprout. I’m like a kid waiting for Christmas!
I’m planning to cut back our rose bushes today, plus give the wisteria some phosphorus fertilizer.
