November 5 :: Planting Garlic

Hello again!

This week I planted the three types of garlic i bought at the Common Ground Fair. Here's how it went (and how it hopefully will go in the future):

Biggest cloves of garlic of each variety

+ chilly soil in the raised bed

+ bale o' straw from O'Donals Nursery

+ eight months
= Garlic plants! Garlic scapes and bulbs!

This being my first garlic planting ever, i took advice from a few different sources and tailored it to meet our space requirements and location. We'll see how it goes!

Best,
Your Graceful Gardener
