Planting date: 2/20/2014 and already behind schedule

Onions planted today!  Thousands and thousands.  There were supposed to be 80 slips--two packs of 40 each--but after I measured out the space required for four rows of 80 plans 6 inches apart, and then started planting, my space had to be extended by at least 18 inches.  I could do the math on that but I'm too tired.

I also planted peas and part of the lettuce, radishes, and spinach.  It's against folk wisdom to plant all of a garden crop on the same day.  Technically I should wait until next week to plant the rest, but I'll probably go ahead with the spinach.

I'll get a picture tomorrow, but there's not much to see except faintly greenish stems poking jaggedly out of clumps of clay.
