March 4 More seeds Started: tomatoes and bunching onions!

Lori Fiechter here with a brief update on our seedlings. It's March 4th and things are progressing well. Stan planted tomato seedlings today--oodles of them, eleven different varieties (listed below). For a change, he planted mostly determinate varieties this year. He also planted several varieties of paste-types. We'll see how they all yield.

I planted one package of Newton basil--I will direct-seed more basil in May (I'm a big fan of the variety "Dolce Fresca"), but this gives me a head start. For the first time, I'm growing bunching onions, or scallions. I planted the seeds thickly today and then in April, we'll transplant them outside. Spring is in the air. Ask any robin.
