Can you tell me about planting garlic? I have always wanted to try it. Thanks:)

Sure! Nothing to it..that is if the rain stops! Go to your local friendly farmers market or stand and buy a couple of heads,(or more depending on how much you want to put in)so you know they are fresh. Carefully pull the bulbs apart and plant the cloves roots down 10ish inches apart. Cover them and watch them come up in the spring. You're going to want to get it in the ground in the next week or so. Each clove you plant will be one head. They will grow long flower looking things(scapes) around June. Cut them off so the plant works on the bulb instead of the seeds. The scapes are great to use too! Pull them up when the bottom half of the leaves die off. Braid and hang them up to dry.

I haven't found anything worthy of putting it on, so I'm eating it off the spoon! (Don't judge me people!)
 
Although I didn't get to attend all the fun at Nat's Chickenstock.....I did have the good fortune to have Mary bring me home 2 of Erin's Porcelain d Uccles. Here they are now, after a trip to NJ today to pick them up and visit Mary's most EXCELLANT home. Her flock is wonderful! We share lots in common actually.LOL
So nice to have someone this close by to share stories with as well.

My 2 little babies are kept inside for now and eating smashed eggies, I am spoiling them already. I hope to soon incorporate them with 3 other banties I've managed to hold onto before we move this winter..... one which is also a P. d Uccle only a couple of weeks older.

I hope I can make the next meet up....I was sorry to miss this one and all the fun.
Thanks again Mary for being such a good sport and welcoming me into your beautiful home.
