The situation in the front yard wasn’t any better. This part of the garden did get more sun, but not enough heat for the growth of the plants. In the fall I’ve sown corn salad and a bunch of onions and garlic. I was going to use them in late winter and early spring when stores don’t sell young garlic and onions. Well, this plan went down the drain. The cold salad was first killed by Srećko, who decided to use my old washbowls as his high ground, to appear bigger while barking at the roe deers, and the rest of the surviving little lettuces started growing last week. I should get a handful of lettuce, thanks to Srećko.

Onions were also dormant until a week ago, now that they are getting lots of warmth, they are growing quickly. I’ve planted shallots, garlic cloves, and whole garlic heads. All of them are growing nicely now. I should have lots of young onions and garlic for Easter, which is actually even better since the Croatian traditional Easter lunch can’t go by without green onions, ham, and “Francuska Salata” (Olivier salad only we call it differently).
