robbyI've finished harvesting the green onions, and have picked what I can of the red onions. The ones that are left are going to seed. Thank goodness I now have a big bed of yellow onions. They're not completely mature, but the bulbs are the size of golf balls, and I'm eating them. When they mature, in about a month, the green top collapses, and the bulb seals itself for dormancy.
The eggplant have been in the ground for over a week, and are doing OK. The rest of May will have some cool nights, cooler than the eggplant likes. That's the thing with gardening, there is always an unknown element, and planting is a gamble. I'll nurse them, and the avocado tree, along as best I can. Everything else is doing very well, with my tomatoes flowering like crazy. I may have tomatoes by July. I still have a second planting of four tomato starters to go in the ground around the first of June.
