Been cutting scapes on my garlic the past 3 days. I’ll probably be harvesting by the end of June.
Potatoes are about 2’ tall now. They’re growing like crazy too.

Very nice. I wanted to put garlic in this year. Do you wait till fall to plant or can you put in now?

  I would wait till September.  The old saying is when the kids go back to school it’s time to plant garlic....

I used to plant my garlic first week of October. I learned something this year. Did my normal planting and then we had an unusually warm fall. The garlic took off and I was worried it would be killed when the deep winter hit. Wrong!!!!

It looks to be the best crop I’ve ever had. I’ll be planting a bit earlier this fall if it turns out the way I think it’s gonna.

Life is very boring without fresh home grown garlic.

Still have a couple dozen heads from last year to tide me over. We love our garlic and it loves us back.

got any you can spare for seed?

[rgfixit]

I use my largest for seed each year and buy a quart basket of cloves from a local farm market for the rest. I use everything I grow. What I buy I sort and plant the largest cloves. The rest I either cook with or preserve in oil for later.

Just under 2” of rain the last 2 days. The geniuses are calling for more thunderstorms today. I have to mow regardless. I hate mowing wet grass.

I bought a couple mums last year. Potted them and never cleared out the pot. Stayed out all winter long.

 Remarkably, one of them came alive this spring. I planted it in the garden and it’s doing very well. Had no idea they’d winter over.

I have 75 hard and soft stemmed right from old country stock. We also have 25 elephants in, if they come out good you can have some.

There’s around 120 heads in my garden.



Been trimming scrapes the last week.

I love making garlic scape pesto. Use ol fashioned ice cube trays to freeze them in convenient serving sizes
