While I spent last week making food with all the tomatoes, etc and canning and freezing, Orrin was preparing new garden beds in what will be the main garden area (a separate area from the greenhouse location). Today we began planting garlic. We planted 7 different types of garlic, for a total of about 120 cloves planted, as well as some bulbils (those will be ready in 2 years). We still have 5 more types to plant. It feels good to start getting those into the ground for next year, as we can never have too much garlic!
Yummo! I am so bad to have not gotten any garlic in the ground yet, although I prepared the beds today. What varietals did you put in?
