  2. If you don't use pressure treated(which would be ok), you can treat the wood with linseed oil and it will give you a little bit more time.

  3. I just went out in the country and gathered some Canadian meadow garlic 🧄 to transplant into my garden. Only 3 made it from last years attempt. I also found some spring beauty 🌸bulbs to transplant. I’ve got Jerusalem artichokes in containers because I don’t need a yard full. How do you feel about bringing wild edibles into your garden? I know you like the lily bulbs.

  4. I planted out all of mine a few weeks ago I started from seed in February, here in NH. The spring has been really cold with nights in the 20's. This morning my onion transplants sat in solid frozen ground but they haven't died and put up with it. The peas went away but those are quick to regrow.

  5. What is the NPK ratio of the fertilizer you put on the cardboard and in the top soil? Great Video since I'll be planting my onion starts here in R. I. zone 6b
