Some of these were small but I wasn't disappointed. It's still a LOT of garlic lol. I grew both varieties last year. My husband loves the garlic scape pesto so much I decided to just grow all hard neck. I didn't have any problems with storage over the last year with it (my kitchen is cool and dark though) so I figured why not lol. The braids are pretty, next year I might do a little soft neck just for that.
More fun garden videos - YAY! I think your garlic harvest was lovely - and as with many things, "work in progress" is better than "doing nothing". Those Napa cabbages though! WOW!
I know that you never know everything about gardening and every year is different. I am just constantly looking for ways to try and improve for the next year. I was looking back at pics of my new garden last year and MAN its totally different this year.
Was that a spider at 5:00? It looked like you stomped it! Nice harvest - I hope that table makes a difference in garlic drying. I love hearing the "behind the scenes" fun!
I like to encourage planting perennials, that once established will faithfully feed you year after year. Such as: * Fruit trees divers * Nut trees varieties * Grapes, even wild grapes, leafes are edible too, see recipes * Berry bushes * Rubbarb * Asparagus * Strawberries * Horseradish, the gorgeous glossy green leafes are edible too * Dandilions, the entire plant is edible, see recipes * kitchen herbs, and medicinal herbs, that self seed and come back every springtime.
This is only my second year gardening but that is what I am working towards. I planted a blackberry bush this season. Next year I will add something else and so on.
Anything you seed or plant takes patience. Life takes patience. Raising kids takes patience. Men certainly take a heck of a lot of endless patience, in my experience anyway.
I remove every pebble I can find in the garden, same with any shred of plastic, or any junk anyone left there before I moved in. Even pieces of glass, some very irresponsible soul left behind. Unfortunately.
Grats on the lovely garlic and cabbage harvest!
💚
Thanks Misty!
They are an awesome harvest!
I am pretty proud of it for sure lol
My garlic didn’t do quite as well as other years because of wild weather. I do soft neck because I enjoy the braid and long storage of them 😊

Very true
Slugs love beer, any bit of beer in a nearly empty bottle or can. They dive right in and drown in it. Gone.
I have done both beer and sluggo. Both help but the slug numbers are just insane lol.

It's certainly a process lol
