Updates for Peas, Radishes, Favas, Onions, Poppies, Orach, Quinoa, and Compost

Last thing's first - I got my compost for the year all into the garden! 15 buckets full, some spread out onto all of the exist beds with the remainder piled for when I am ready for tomatoes. This includes adding it to all of the existing beds.

Compost on the north end.

Peas, radishes and favas are all up! I didn't take any close up pictures so more to come there.

The bulb onions all got composted and then mulched with last year's leftover straw. I like the small, broken down pieces for onions as they settle nicely around the small plants and are easy to handle. I didn't mulch the bunching onions yet as I think they need some more growing time before I risk beating on them. Maybe a week or so.

The outside row of the SE quadrant got two types of breadseed poppies plus some Red Orach. There'll be some dwarf cosmos here at some point too but I'm letting the soil warm for another week or two.

The next bed got Red Faro quinoa planted, some from Baker Creek and some from Southern Seed exposure, just because I somehow double ordered and decided to compare.

Flowers on the left, quinoa in the middle, soon to be amaranth on the right.
