Greenstorm's Journal

Today I put a dozen asparagus plants and two dozen shallot bulbs into the garden, just above the southernmost slope, in amongst the roses and ribes and cherries and apple trees I planted in the last few months. In general I planted the shallots in close to the trees and cherries, to hopefully discourage voles, and the asparagus in a wider ring mostly on the western part of the garden.

In doing so I tested out my drill auger bulbs planter thing, which I do think is easier than using a trowel but would be way better if my soil wasn't so dust-dry it just flowed back into the hole. Oh well.
