I finally went outside and looked at my garden boxes today- and, woo,
my lettuces are finally sprouting and coming above ground! I got a
better germination rate than I thought, and i'll definitely be doing
some thinning out when the time comes.

However, i planted onion sets at the same time- some in each of my
garden boxes (to help ward off insects, etc) but none of them seem to
be sprouting. Am I being too impatient? I put the lettuce and the
onions in ground at the same time, roughly 2 and a half weeks ago.
How long should I wait for the onions to show above ground before i
should plant some more sets, and consider the older plantings a loss?
I'm still new to the whole onion thing, and while my seedlings inside
are doing well, I'm lost on the onions!

I may have put the first planting too deep, and fixed that by laying
another set closer to the surface in another box- I figure at least
one of them will come up.

I put onions out a couple of weeks ago , planted 3" deep for green onions .
You don't say where you are , but here in Memphis Tn I've got green shoots
about 3" tall now . The ones I planted a month ago are also doing well .
Now if my strawberries would only show some green , I'd be pleased ...
