After we planted the onions, two nor'easters decided to come in and flood southern New England. It created flooding problems in Rhode Island and parts of the South Coast of Massachusetts. We managed to stay dry, although that is mainly because our house is on cinder blocks. In any case, our onions look like they might not appreciate the rain and have not sprouted yet. In the meantime we have added to the garden.
Of course some things don't get planted in the garden yet, but do need to be started in trays. Over the weekend we planted cucumbers, tomatoes, and pumpkins in mini-seed trays. We also started three herbs: basil, parsley, and chives in their pots. The herbs will stay in their pots, but will continue to be out in our porch until it is warm enough to move them outside. That goes the same for the cucumbers, tomatoes, and pumpkins until they are ready to transplant to the garden. Outside - we planted carrots and arugula.
Not even a week later, the pumpkins, cucumbers, and arugula have already started to sprout. For now the garden looks great – we just need to get those onions sprouting.
