I think I should have started my onions a lot earlier.  Next year, I'll 
start both onions and leeks in January.  I appreciate the germination 
tip and the info on miso.  I would have never looked in the deli case, 
so I probably missed it.  I'll be sure to check that next time I hit the 
store.  It really does sound like something I would like.
I posted a few new garden pictures on MySpace in the Garden 2009 folder. 
 It is not much to look at right now and in some pics the transplants 
are hard to see, but in a month or so, I think it will look like a true 
garden.

Today, DH and I prepped the semi-formal herb/kitchen garden.  I actually 
have a few plants in one of the beds now.  I have lemon thyme, lemon 
balm,  chives and some crocuses that I transplanted from the naturalized 
ones in the yard.  Tomorrow, I'll plant my new Gala apple and transplant 
some of my other herbs into the new bed.   I'll get some new batteries 
and take more pics tomorrow.
