Good evening folks. Managed to get some of our garlic in today.

I keep doing the new batch plantings as garlic only has a limited shelf life before it starts to go bad and sometimes rotting / drying out.

Did someone leave WV to come to Joplin to shelter from the hurricanes?
Riding the metro in DC, you would see all sorts of stuff like that, though what took the cake was the older guy who was wearing a kilt, sitting spread eagle and letting his junk just hang there.

Looking again at the photo you posted...its almost like the episode of the Simpsons when Homer decided to wear a Muumuu... :D

We planted last year, four varieties, three hard neck and one soft neck. They all did really well, we are swimming in garlic right now. I don't think we will get any in the ground this year, but will be prepping a spot in the garden for next year so its all ready to go.

It was awesome to get scapes too, those were really enjoyable!!
I had a good batch of scapes as well. Even vac sealed and froze a good number.

Make up a batch or two of pasta sauce with meat (try using all fresh produce, nothing out of a shaker, and that garlic stash should disappear rather quickly.
I am usually out of my homegrown garlic by March or April. This year after keeping some of the largest heads for replanting, I had about 90 remaining for use. Of those, I'm down to less than 60, and that was with doing 1 batch of chili, a small batch of pasta sauce, and a couple of marinades, and general use putting in taters on the grill.

Guessers are claiming for likely frosty events the next 3 nights, and then much warmer for at least a week.
That gives me one more day to get garden stuffs picked OR they'll need covering for a few nights.
Glad that I put several peppers in containers along with some spices.
Those and some flower pots will get overwintered just inside the deck door area.

I bought a 2 meter roll of this rubber gasket at Temu, 15cm wide, cost only a few bucks, when I bought I didn't know what I was going to use it for.

Now after a 1/2 year I understand that I must be the smartest one who hangs at OPE, apart from Fabz Acres though.
