Fall Garden Looks Great So Far

November 19, 2020 by Heather Leave a Comment

It’s been a couple of weeks since we recorded the video for this, and since then, the beans have expired and we have begun harvesting the beets, turnips, and some greens. This was a weird year for many people and our summer garden was a little blah, as well. But our fall garden looks great so far!

Growing, Harvesting, and Storing Garlic

July 29, 2019 by Heather Leave a Comment

Growing garlic is so easy, even I can do it! I bet you can, too!

Types of garlic

There are two types of garlic, but many varieties.

Hardneck varieties have larger cloves, but fewer per head, develop a flower stalk also called a scape, can be easier to peel, produce better in colder climates, don’t store as long. This type will have cloves that develop around a hard stalk that runs up the middle of the head.

Softneck varieties have more but smaller cloves per head, don’t develop a scape, can store longer
