Great Garlic!






















Most of the things in my garden this year didn't do as well as I had hoped. Either they suffered from too much rain or too much cold weather or both. The one big exception was my garlic. I had the biggest, best crop of garlic that I have had in the 10 years I have been growing it! I think one of the other factors in my success this year was that I have been using the seed from my previous year's crop for about 4 years in a row. I think the garlic has finally fully acclimated to my soil. I am thankful for whatever made it grow so well and I will continue to be thankful all through the winter months. I promise all the neighbors that I will try not to breath too heavily on any of you after a dinner cooked with this fine harvest.
