I did as well and the wife reminded me we had these in the closet. Plus the onions I started in the fall.
I had a nice assortment of mater plants up and about an 1" tall or better. The last freeze got them. DEAD. Dang it, with the projected weather I'll wait until next weekend and do it again. Funny thing is it killed what was in 4" pots but there is a slew of volunteers coming up in big floor pots, but those have no ID and are most likely a cherry type of some sort. We'll keep some of them as it'd be a waste not too.
Not a pepper one has sprouted so I'll be doing them again too. Carrots are up and doing well, cabbage too, lettuce as well. Anxious ! More so than years past. The world environment has us planning more so than usual. We gave away a slew of older seeds as wasting time is not on my list of things to do.

I haven't started peppers yet, they do not like cold feet starting out. Probably going to be a May planting for warm season crops. I did plant 10 bundles of onions yesterday. Probably between 750 and 1000 plants.
Back when I had my shop, I asked one of my customers why they burned wheat fields after harvest instead of turning the stubble under for fertilizer (he and two sons farmed a couple thousand acres).
He told me that while stubble is in the process of decaying, it binds with nutrients in the soil and is actually detrimental to the following crop.

2-23-22 it's snowing and 14 degrees, but Ima gardening. We'll look at these again as time goes by. These little tubers are what I kept back for this. Hopefully this little set up works out well. Time will tell. Currently at 10 and have plenty more. Sweet tater slips can be a booger to find locally, I've had to resort to online purchases in the past.

I’m working on my skills. This will be my second year with a garden. The pods are planted with seeds I bought this year, and the garden soil has my seeds from last season that I vacuum sealed. We’re tripling our garden size this year, so hopefully we have a good turn out. Does anyone have experience with these onion bulbs? I bought two bundles. I also have some habenero seeds I planted as well. I had one plant that produced a lot last year but I need more for fermenting. I love hot sauce! I need to learn about potatoes.

Is there a name on the onions? I plant some reds, whites and yellows pretty much every year. The reds usually do not as large. Also need to know the day length variety for those onions. Oklahoma is day neutral/imtermediate and short day . Lond day are usually for northern states.
I’ll take a look at the label and see if I can find some more info. I got these from tractor supply. All I remember seeing is 100 day to harvest, and plant when the average temperature is over 30 degree.
