We're expecting temps of 90+degrees this weekend so the garlic needs to be pulled to make way for the final 1o tomato plants.
The heads will go onto drying racks (old refrigerator shelves:) and sit out for a week or so before storing in the cellar. I'll be back later today to post pics of the haul!
ps. The poppies were volunteers from the compost we added to the soil.
Steve and I have started a new undertaking towards sustainable living....'renting' land in exchange for veggies. Our home garden is simply not big enuf to support our family of 6 very hungry people and with several trees in the yard to help us get thru the 'hell' we call summer in the Central Valley of California we can only cultivate so much of our city lot ...is a town of 10,000 officially a city?
Follow us on our adventures in gardening in our lovely neighbor Joyce's yard. Our desire is to become strangers to the checkout gals at the grocery store.

Right on schedule.
My garlic is going to be pulled on Saturday. Have you tried garlic soup? It's wonderfully bad for you---full of butter.
Sounds yummy....recipe please???
Sorry for the delay. I didn't realize you wanted the recipe. I was checking back to see if you had tried your garlic. Mine is great.
