<\/div>\n
March has been a very cold month. Even with the past couple of warm days, we’re actually catching up on the heat we should have got during the first couple of weeks of March. Usually, by the end of March, most of the bulbs are out and starting to grow big leaves. But, with the cold, all of my garden bulbs are just starting to show leaves and starting to grow.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
The best indicator of the cold is my broad bean bed which is still completely empty on top. Broad beans don’t need a lot of warmth, temperatures above 7\u00b0C(45\u00b0F) are enough for the beans to germinate, and this hasn’t happened in more than a month. I’ve sown them in February, and they are sprouting right now. At least they didn’t freeze.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
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 Sre\u0107ko, 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 Sre\u0107ko.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
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). <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

At least Sre\u0107ko didn’t kill off the onions, he did try and he decided he was better looking than the onions, so I had to take photos of him. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I guess if I want a yard garden, I will need lots of fences and protective branches, or I will have a bunch of butt prints in my pots. <\/div>\n
