Had a bit of a rainy spell and %$#QT FROST again last night, WTF it's FLORIDA dammit !!!
I put space heaters out so the papaya / banana / coffee plant etc etc didn't get bit and they are no worse for it, thank god it was a little frost.
The garlic, it's into the scrape phase now where it sends up what I believe would be it's flower, you snip that off (they are absolutely delicious btw) so the plant concentrates on growing the bulb. This garlic went absolutely crazy, the tops are getting like branches on it's its so insane !! Last year this time they all rotted off because of the wet and me planting them wrong, so the fact that I made it this far, I count as a success so far !!
Now to wait for it to ripen and harvest. I'll see if I can push it to fall. I had two bulbs from years past that I totally ignored, they actually grew for about 2 straight years before finally giving up the ghost. Won't do that with these but hoping I get a good haul out of them.
The scrapes, I cut into diced pieces and add that to any dish that asks for garlic. OMG is it good, I chewed one too, umm . IT was mild but vampire breath all night and the next morning heh
