I am about to plant onions. I was thinking I
was letting the microbiome settle down while
I waited for the seeds and bulbs to arrive.

Gave it a little water too. Basically
I am pampering the little buggers. A healthy
microbiome is as essential as fertilizer.
I may be overthinking it.

I did not use a lot of fertilizer.
