What did you do in the garden today?

[Minanora]

More carrots are sprouting. A few more peas. I dug some up to see what's going on, a good portion have rotted. I'll try to soak before sowing another round. Plus start some indoors. No reason not to.

I'll start broccoli, cabbage and more leafy greens soon.

Speaking of carrots, since the garden was a total no go this year, I just bought 25 lbs (11.3 kg) for $12.48. (can't hardly grow them for that) and feel no guilt for it. Pint canning jars are in the dishwasher as I swype. What music goes with veg prep?

Contemporary jazz…….for me anyway.

I counted 35 of my garlic cloves have sprouted above ground so far. 55 more to go. Yeah, sad when the gardening is over, but good at the same time.

You stole my thunder. I was just thinking of posting that I noticed my garlic sprouting. I planted later than usual, mid October this year, and was surprised to see sprouts. I was certain nothing would show until early spring.

I'm getting the garden put to bed too. What's left to do is to put as much mulch as I can on and let it sit over the winter. Including chicken poop.

I’m glad I didn’t start mine until last weekend now. It actually does something for once.

Hauled mulched leaves to the compost pile. Cloudy and cooler with rain coming later. We need rain. Worked on shaving down some tree roots. They were getting hard to mow over.

Yeah, the garlic variety I grow overwinters well. This is last February.

Is that hardneck by any chance? Our garlic is hardneck and overwinters just like your pic shows.

Yes it is. My best guess is that it's Russian Red garlic.
