Onion plants

Woo-hoo, my onion plants arrived today from Dixondale Farms, perhaps a bit early, given the recent weather. I had ordered the short-day sampler along with some Lancelot leeks in late January , for delivery this week, so I've got plenty to put in the ground here and at the kitchen garden at work , shown in this post in summer guise. Hmmph, I see I was enthusiastically writing about planting early peas at that point. Not much chance of early planting this year -- I haven't checked the soil temps but I'm not hopeful that it's warmed up enough even for cool season vegetables. At least I can hold the dormant onion plants for several weeks, if necessary.
