I also started to process my garlic, and I started with the Great Lakes Porcelain Garlic bulbs. They and the German Red Garlic were harvested in early July. I had to pitch 3 bulbs bc the garlic had rotted. I don't believe this was storage since they were in a dry location drying in the barn. I...

Be still my heart! I listened to an hour long lecture by the author this weekend. THIS is on my Christmas list. Hopefully it will be in softcover and a little bit cheaper...

Yesterday I got an hour of weeding in the wildflower patch. I credit somebody mowing and blowing trash grass seed into it. :barnie Still DH is going to mow with my Godmower today. (PT agreed with me to hold off using this myself for a few more weeks.) He should blow the growing pile of this...

We are having practically perfect weather. It Would be perfect if it weren't so dry, BUT, I will take the lovely temperatures. It is expected to be 47 degrees F at 6AM on Wednesday morning.

Had a roofing guy (that we trust, NOT the Bozo that lives here in town), out to give us an estimate on building repairs. We walked around--him on his 2 feet, Me with my walker, "Peanut,"--then he launched his drone to take video. Since I had somebody to "babysit" me, I weeded for about 15...

Just Lovely!! :love

Happy Birthday, Dirt Mechanic!!! Pull up a garden chair and rest a spell.

They Help, but you have to tie them to fencing or staking right next to the roots--use the handle for that--and monitor them to keep them filled. Tiny holes means slow dripping right below the jug where it won't evaporate, and hopefully right above the roots. Jugs work well to fill right after...
