Do you know if there would be a problem planting onions right now (mid May)? I'm in Georgia and didn't think I was going to do onions, but now i'm going to try. From what I've read starting a little late isn't necessarily bad, but I will just be behind. Thanks for you videos.

I would try it anyway; at worse case you will end up with scallions! - Mark

yes, we had a hail storm go through the neighborhood recently so everyone is having their roof replaced, including me

thanks for the video!! i was dying for watching a garden update...i just started all my seeds a few weeks ago and everything looks good!! can wait for the harvest!!!

by the way, is it OK to plant lettuce so close to each other? do they get big?

[markhess]

Oh, good point! I should have mentioned that both 'Salad Bowl' and 'Red Sails' are a leaf lettuce harvested as cut-and-come again. Had a been planted head lettuce, which is difficult for me in the south, I would have allowed more spacing between the plants. - Mark

Thanks Tim; it feels good to get back into the garden after a sleepy winter! - Mark

Great job, Mark! Way up north we've got onions, lettuce, and potatoes, but we're still at least a month away from a frost-free date. But my rhubarb is looking good! Thanks for the update!

Your garden looks great. Love that tall fence. I'm anxious about the deer, but will bust a move regardless next weekend. I love seeing what everyone's doing. thanks for posting!

[markhess]

Thanks Donna. I have a herd of 3 deer that bed down behind my house - and I live in a neighborhood! They are very tame and apparently getting fat off my garden!! :) - Mark

The garden is looking good !

I look foward to some tips on the Garlic if you get the chance to show some tips along the way.

[markhess]

Thanks Stymye; I'll be sure to share "all" my garlic tips with you - that should take at least 10 seconds of video!! ;)  - Mark

Great idea with the leaves! Your garden always looks amazing. Sucks about the rabbits, but you can still replant the peas. It's early enough. :)

[markhess]

Thanks Ray; enjoyed your peacock video - I think you need to talk to your Tom turkey about Thanksgiving! Mark
