Sorry Wisher, would be glad to help but we only grow the hard neck variety up here in the Nort' Woods.  You're far enough south to grow the soft neck variety.  You are aware that all you really need do for your own little crop is buy a bulb or two from the grocery store, break em apart, pick out the biggest cloves and shove em in the ground!  Up here we put out garlic in the ground a few weeks brefore the first freeze.  Think you plant yours in the spring?  That is unless you are high enough in elevation that your ground freezes in the winter.

Oh, buy organic raised garlic if you can.  Then you know for sure the bulbs havent been sprayed with anything tho I am honestly not sure how the non organic farmers grow theirs.

ETA - "wild" garlic is not culinary garlic (the kind you cook with).  As for the scapes, they can also be dehydrated and ground into a lovely version of garlic powder.  Absolutely great in cooking!!!

Wisher should plant hers in the fall. It gets too hot here in the summer? Just plant it in the fall and harvest it about May. Carrots grow well down here when planted in late August and harvested in January

Wisher: that chrome rooster is really close to my house. U came down hwy 231 in pike county. Brundige to be exact. Unless they moved it

Is the chrome rooster Bob's Feeds. They were in Brundidge when I was growing up. We went up there for the district FFA contests.

Wisher i dont have any garlic. I know a place going toward enterprise al that has a sign that says fresh garlic for sale. We are planning to stop and see what they have sunday. My dw found day old silkies and polish chicks in enterprise (hatched the same day as our terrible hatch). She is forcing me to integrate those into my cool chicks flock. I hope she never sees a turken naked neck mutant thingy.

Are you talking about Kassaundra's NN naked Rudy. No feathers at all. I guess she keeps him in the shade.

Not in small amounts, but a large amount of anything, especially something that swells, can be lethal. I've once assisted the better half in operating on a German Shepherd that had been playing with children immediately after consuming a way too large meal. We were elbow deep in guts, and I had to pour water into it's stomach through a tube, and the suck out the watered down food mash back up (If you've ever stolen gasoline from a car, it's the same principal, yuck). He had gotten his stomach twisted around itself, we had to twist it back in place and reattach it to the stomach lining. Not something we want to do on our own dogs.

I've never had it happen but I have heard of their stomachs twisting. We had a pregnant girl whose uterus twisted and had to have a C-section to save the puppies.

Idk linda... but naked necks and emus wig me out. Oh and my neighbor has a turkey with a blue face that is also pretty crazy looking. Its coop is a 1977 ford bronco. Must be the anti theft package cause it doesnt have wheels or an engine. Nor a top. Im going to get a pic of him perched on the roll bars if i can

M. C. Hammers " Cant TouchThis"plays loudly and the old folks start break dancing

Old folks break dancing? Sounds like a recipe for a round of "I've fallen and I can't get up!"
