Hi Annie! Thanks for sharing so many pictures. I'm all the way over in central Pennsylvania, so I can't help you much in terms of gardening in terms of climate, but I wanted to say: Welcome!

Hi Annie, Any update photos? I've been thinking of you and how you are doing.

Same here. I bought puny mail-order strawberry plants last year -- no wonder they died. Rolling Eyes

This year I bought big, healthy strawberries from a good local nursery and they are looking good. I also started my onions from store-bought starts. Growing them from seed wasn't worth the frustration. Live and learn. geek

It took 2 tries for me to get green onions to germinate, and I couldn't keep a strawberry alive if someone paid me! Embarassed

Hi Annie! Missed welcoming you! Enjoyed your little novel, lol, and the pics. I think you are well on your way to becoming a gardener!

Make adjustments, we all have to ongoingly. Keep notes! I keep a planning note and an actual what happened note!

Your home gardens looking good, the community bed has tons of potential! And no HOA. Hello from Chino, CA (Zone 10a) - Page 2 3170584802

Keep trying different plants, amendments, the soil mix actually looks pretty nice. Give it time, it takes some.

So glad you are here!

And your regional forum will be a great help to you, with similar growing conditions, varieties, etc.

PS, last year, I had 3 of 16 green onion seeds germinate. This year, growing Egyptian Walking Onions from Judy on this site! They are superheroes!
