Unlike last summer where I had over 100 heads of garlic, this crop, because of all the rain (and the flooding in particular), yielded less than 50. Of those 50, the cloves were very small. I might have picked them … Continue reading

Planting, A New Fence, and Please No More Pizza on the Grill!
I rarely write about something kind of dumb that my husband has done…yet, when it comes to gardening, well, I just had to share this one. When I’m busy (which is always), he offers to “help.” This could be something … Continue reading
