Plant Event Reports from Toni - Sherwood Oregon (Zone 8a)

Plant Date(s) Report
Onion (Allium cepa 'Mako') On January 14, 2017 Seeds sown
I received some Mako onions seeds from a gardener in New Jersey that said these were his best keepers. I planted the seed in Sunshine mix #4 soil on 1-14-17. They germinated in two days, 1-16-17. I started gardening them off on the deck 2-27-17. I planted out in the garden 3-13-17. I have high hopes for these onions.
Garlic (Allium sativum 'Siciliano') On September 17, 2014 Seeds sown
This is one of many cultivars of garlic I purchased and planted on 9-17-14. All of the Siciliano planted emerged and are growing but growing very poorly compared to the other varieties.
Garlic (Allium sativum 'Maiskij') On September 17, 2014 Seeds sown
Maiskij is growing nicely. All but one “toe”. It has stunted and curled leaves.
Avocado (Persea americana 'Hass') On April 19, 2008 Seeds sown
Just for fun I started the Hass avocado seed in a cup of water as my family taught me to do so many years ago and low and behold it grew and grew until I got tired of it and was going to put it in the compost pile. My husband had grown very attached to the little start and encouraged me to put it in a pot. Well, here we are almost 7 years later and he still won’t let me compost it.
