Fillmore, Onions, & Strawberries

Carol needed to go to Fillmore to get some cash.  We went to The State Bank of Southern Utah.  I wanted to stop at the Fillmore Nursery for some onions.  While there I got the onions, bought some red Pontiac potatoes,  and eight ever bearing strawberries.

 Nice looking ever bearing strawberry plants.

Candy onions and Walla Walla onions.

I had water running on the raised bed.  The water did not soak in.  I stirred it in, in preparation for planting strawberries and red beats.  

I pulled up all of the strawberry plants that I received and planted April ten.  They looked when they came and they are still looking dead.

Here is the whole bunch minus a few that I didn't find.  I prepared an email to the nursery where I bought the plants.  I was going to request a refund for plants and postage.  I talked to them earlier this week and they wanted pictures.  I got the pictures, but couldn't attach them to the email.  I guess I will try again.

Jessen told me that there was another broken pipe leaking.  The water was spraying through a hair line crack.  I fixed this one yesterday.  I didn't cut it low enough.  There was still a little crack.  

I cut it again a little lower.  I found another plug and put on an extension.  Later I turned the water back on.  No leaks.

I planted the strawberry plants and this tray of red beats.  I hooked a water breaker to the hose and watered these, radishes, carrots, and more red beats.
