I plant my garlic cloves at the end of October and harvest in June/July. Check out http://www.gourmetgarlicgardens.com/gardenyear.htm

My apple crop last year was pretty weak, lack of attention, water, nutrients, this year WILL be different.

Enough about Apples and Garlic...TATERTOT NEEDS YOU! She deserves the deluxe spa treatment for waiting so long.

My February chick wish list: two Ameraucanas and two Golden Sex Links (all pullets, no more roos).

Toga run at the end is optional, but encouraged

Hugh

It's true! She deserves the best shampoo and blowdry.

I don't think she will want to run in a toga, though.

Now I want to grow garlic.

ETA -- if you figure out how to put the kabosh on roos, let me know.

Hi Boo,

No issues with frost here, garlic actually can grow in below zero conditions, gotta love a plant with that kind of will

I bought my seed garlic from Filaree Farm in Washington http://www.filareefarm.com I planted 0.5 lbs of Thai Purple (Turban) and 1.0 lb each of Chesnok Red (Purple Stripe), Romanian Red (Porcelain), Nootka Rose (Silverskin) and Northe (Marbled Purple Stripe). Thai Purple and Northe are new for me this year, the others are old favorites. I plan to enter some of my garlic and maybe some of my chickens in this year's SC Fair.

Did you hear about SC County Fair 2009 winning awards last week?
