The garlic is still fermenting. Hopefully it’ll cool off a little bit outside next week and we can turn the a/c off so temps will be a little warmer in the afternoons in the kitchen. It still smells like garlic so still safe but if fermentation slows much more I’ll have to move it to the fridge and start using it.

I'm interested in hearing how the garlic turns out...we love garlic here! I bet it will be delisherous!

I’ll report back for sure. I understand cooking with it destroys all the hard work that fermentation does but that it makes the flavor milder. Will probably try it in some salsa. Might be good in hummus too.

this is what the blooms look like on the willow acacia. It has a very sweet, almost overwhelming odor when it blooms. The bees are quite happy

Aren’t they beautiful? They make me think of sunsets at the beach when I was a kid. Or a late summer evening sitting on the patio eating orange sherbet

You have definitely worked hard and you deserve it! Sunsets at the beach and orange sherbet...two of my favorite things!
