We saved our own garlic seed this year from seed previously purchased from Seed Savers Exchange. It's so cool to have a closed loop on several of our crops. Garlic in Ohio does best when tucked in to the soil by mid-Nov. or so then covered with a heavy mulch.
It looks as though nothing is happening here yet, but we know those little bulbs are starting to send down roots and if the temperatures don't plummet too far too quickly, we may see some green shoots before the deep winter freeze.

I love that line: Just thinking of growing roots makes our hearts a little warmer! Have a great Thanks-giving time!
ReplyDeleteWe hope you enjoyed a great one too, Sondra! Yes, growing things...it's a lovely thought this time of year!
DeleteI got my garlic in just in the knick of time before the 11 inches fell the day before Thanksgiving...when our power went out for 4 days. I cooked the wholed dinner sans bird on the top of our woodstove. Very thankful for the larder and wood right now, too!! Happy Thanksgiving to you both!
ReplyDeleteHey there! So glad you got your garlic in too. We are in a warm spell now so we are still accomplishing a fair bit of outdoor activities. Yay! :) Hope you enjoyed a great Thanksgiving!
