i don't like change... i also don't like it when things change that i don't know the facts and details. we had to have the hot water heater replaced and after that the water coming out of the sinks was tepid to even warm. i thought it was something going on with the change of the hot water...

it's been a tough year here too, just have to keep doing what we can.

hmm... looks like double-trouble or worse...

often it was easier to just roll out of them.

nothing wrong with planting them any time in September IMO, but we're further north so perhaps give yourself a few more weeks of healing and then get it done... carefully... :) mid-September on. early October? i hardly ever do things when i'm supposed to...

got some picking of beans in and then the rains dotted me and i was ready to come in anyways.

very much dependent upon variety but also remember that in the natural environment where they developed they were not lifted and replanted and i've grown garlic here where i've not lifted it and just left it to grow as a big clump. so the whole lifting and dividing and replanting is purely for...

yes, we have never been able to leave the heads out to fully dry (if we're lucky enough to get any at all to flowering stage) due to how many birdies and chipmunks are after them.

i tried a few and found most of them were too long of a season for us or close enough to not be reliable. to me it is no fun to put in the work of growing them if they're not going to be reliable. when i grow longer season varieties i'm hoping to get them to cross with earlier ones and...

it's already well past rediculous... ditto, Mom gets up early and she is my alarm clock and reminder because left to my own devices i may forget. in the past they've started their route right here at our corner so if the trash isn't out there before 7am we may be missed. the past half year...

we'll see... last winter was not much snow. i miss my shovelling when there's not enough snow. plus it looks better.

for me the results have mostly varied because of soil conditions and diseases which come from too much moisture at the wrong time and not getting it lifted when it is ready. the size of bulb has a lot of factors, but overall sunshine, competition, nutrients, water, spacing all play a role...

but you've not done it again, i hope? :)

it is. i've had a few glasses of water and rested up and am now enjoying lunch and likely will get a nap in. this coming week the highest temperature in the forecast is 76F for next Friday, lowest nighttime temperature forecast is 45F.

yes. :) i was unsupervised enough with a gas stove that i learned (sometimes the hard way) to be careful.

forecast was for high of 72F and scattered shower chances this afternoon. i see a few north of us not likely to get here as they are heading east. one small one missed us a bit ago. i was outside enough to enjoy the day and to get things done until i was tired enough to stop. that's as good...

top part of the north garden is done at last. finished up that and got it scraped and then went and picked some peppers for making stuffed peppers this afternoon and a few tomatoes for yum. there's starting to be enough tomatoes to do some canning. also a lot of beans ready to pick too.

they are certainly very interesting creatures and also a good warning about how to do things wrong or right in terms of observing what is happening in the world around you.

welcome to TEG from mid-Michigan. :)
