All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

I've really been enjoying our haskaps (Lonicera caerulea) this week while waiting for the strawberries to ripen. The blackberries and raspberries have just been pollinated so there's still some time before those come into season, and the recent warm-but-not-too-warm weather has kicked our beans and tomatoes into gear.

Also, peonies!

What's growing on with you all?

I'm a fan of walking onions, personally. That said, I'd encourage you to weigh the benefit of having practiced some rotation before it is the plan and ironing out the wrinkles you encounter.

Hmm, alright then. How best would you say to go about practicing?

If you've got starts of something ready to go, I'd plant those to get a crop into the bed where the onions were and then work to get that crop's replacements ready. Otherwise I'd pick something that germinates quickly to seed out and then set about prepping for the next plants to go in. Depending on what your season is like, you might still be able to do an early summer / late summer / fall set of plant rotations
