Things are starting to grow

Things are starting to grow. I checked yesterday and the seeds I planted on the 12th are coming up. Today it rains and it is cool enough that it is almost snow at times. They are getting watered though.

The onion sets came up quickly, and the shallots and walking onions I planted in the fall came up fine. I planted some softneck garlic and it is up and looking good.

I planted over 100 elephant garlic, and no sign of it yet. This seems strange. I hope it eventually decides to come up.

I hope your garden is doing great!

OK, here is a pic of the pond.
Maybe I will take a current pic of the garden when the sun comes out. :)

You should print off all those pictures and make an album -- or a BOOK! -- out of them. You have the most amazingly beautiful garden/ landscape I have ever seen. I'm sure people would pay for garden tours!

Unfortunately I have decided the elephant garlic winter killed. That is the first time this has happened, and I have been growing it for about 20 years. I dug some up and it is all mushy and rotten. There was only two that came up.

So, I planted some more. I have no idea how well it will do planted in the spring, but will find out.
