The Old Folks Home

I stopped at the garlic place on the way to get the chicks. A little old 200 yr old lady answered the door. I was hoping to learn more about growing garlic. I asked her how shes grows it. She said "in dirt". I asked her if it was better growing from seeds or cloves. She asked, "are u gonna buy something or not?" I asked how much does each bulb cost. She said "usually $3 but i will give u 3 for $12". I said ok because her weiner dog was trying to eat me and my chicks were chirping.

I love that kind of business transactions. I used to frequent a gas station, where one of the nighttime employees used to say that you got handling there, not service.

Well it at least looks like garlic.

It's about as simple as "in dirt."

I posted something a few pages back, but I neglected to say step 1: pull the cloves apart and plant each clove separately with pointy end up (roots go down).

[bamadude]

Wisher, you can always grow radishes. They grow fast and they like the cool weather. Carrots are good planted late August and gathered in January. They are much better than those bought from the store.

Even down here in zone 8B? Shreveport.
