    The great garlic experiment

    Well, I yaked the three that had the thickest stems. I did pull up one that was too little and I snuck it right back into the ground, I hope it continues to grow. My stems are already falling over, and if they are like onions, that is a sign that they are about ready.

    Well, :ya I just yanked 3 huge garlic "heads" out of the ground!!! I can't believe it! My first time to grow it. I thought it was an onion, it was so big and well, round. But I can feel individual cloves inside the skin...so I know it is garlic. So I suppose it works! (Don't tell...

    The great garlic experiment

    As I have stated before, this is the first year that I have a "big girl" garden. So I am still learning from newbie mistakes. It doesn't help that I just moved up here from TX. New climate, new things to grow for the first time. Well, I threw some garlic in the soil in the spring this year...

    Hi Bills, They do have groups that do this in the month of October down here. I'm near Seattle. I agree, books are 2d, I need 3d to tell a poisonous shroom from an edible. I'm scared to take a chance!

    OKRA, First timers question?
