Planting Planting Planting!

We put in about 30# of onion sets today. They look like tiny onions, the size of a fingernail, and will grow into a normal-sized bulb. We planted them in black plastic mulch this year - worth a try so it's less labor weeding and cultivating.
We planted many seeds directly into the ground: 2 kinds of spinach, Leaf Lettuces, 3 kinds of beets, turnips, carrots, 3 kinds of radishes, mustard greens, arugula. The first planting of radishes got thinned. The first planting of leaf lettuces and carrots are sprouting.
Plastic is layed for the peas, chard and kale. Hope to plant them in the next 2 days, along with the early potatoes.
More raddichio, 2 kinds of kale, romaines, and larkspur seeds were planted in the greenhouse.
This will be the first night I've left the trays of head lettuces out all night. The temperature is still 66℉ and it's 9:15 at night!
Oh, there's sooo much to do!
