    20-year veteran teacher here: Your baby girl is very bright. She listens to every word you say. She heard so many science words, and responded well beyond her toddler years when she identified a larger basal plate. Keep teaching her, she has places to go and things to do. I love the way you interact with her.

    You can clearly tell this little girl is raised outside in nature, where children ought to be! They are more calm, grounded, and focused, because their natural biology is able to channel their endless energy right where it was intended to go. Way to go, dad!

    What an adorable little one! You're so lucky to have such a wonderful little girl. You're doing a great job raising a smart, considerate child, eager to learn and who can sit quietly through the whole video (not easy for a child that young). She's absolutely lovely.

    I’ve been washing with the hose to get the dirt off for years. Never had a single problem with mold or early sprouting-we usually run out in early Spring.
    For curing I bring mine indoors for curing. The whole house smells of garlic for a week, but we have zero vampire issues because of it.

      While I’ve always hose cleaned the bulbs, with good results, certainly pleasing to have them so clean off the bat, I think I’ll try a dirty cure this year and see if I get better results.

    My first time successfully growing garlic this year. Absolutely right on plastic bag storage being a MUST to avoid. Great way for moles to grow and shorten life span of what is grown.Air circulation is a NEED in order to be able to enjoy it for as long as possible.

    I know this is an old video but I just harvested some of the garlic I got from your shop last year. It’s *amazing*! It’s probably the biggest garlic I’ve ever grown. The variety is called Duganski I believe. I’m in California zone 9b and didn’t expect a hard neck variety to do so well here!
    Now they’re hanging out to dry. So exciting!
    By the way your daughter is unbelievably adorable and she clearly adores her daddy so much.

    Anyway, my hardneck from last year is just going bad, but many are still fine. Just harvested this year’s crop.
    We heat with fire, makes the house super dry, maybe that helps.
    Totally agree garlic is super easy. Love it!
