Weather was pretty warm for most of March and early April. Last 2 days we got over 30 mm of rain, that will help to increase moisture in soil. As soon surface of soil is dry enough to plow, we will start planting 30 vegetable crops as planned. Our Garlic crop planted last October, is growing well and by July end we will be harvesting well over 20 varieties of Garlic. This week we planted 4 varieties of Onion sets (Red, Spanish, White and Yellow Onions). Later we will plant 3 more varieties of Onions for Winter storage crop.
