Anitra and I spent 1/2 hour in the garden today harvesting about 10lbs. of garlic. We pulled it earlier than in previous years but it was definitely ready. In fact, some of the larger heads were just starting to split, so we could have pulled them last week.
They’re tied up and drying now and I’ve selected 6 heads for our fall planting. It shouldn’t be long before we’re enjoying roasted garlic spread over some crusty French bread.
Happy garlic

Cool and damp this morning. Perfect for weeding the bed of garlic. I also got some lettuce, chard, and spinach planted before the rain started.

Weeding the garden is always easier with a pair of helping hands—and all the more so when those hands are only 1 foot off the ground. This afternoon, Ayn helped me weed the bed of garlic we planted last October. She dug right in, pulling up only the weeds.
