I put away almost of my tools Saturday morning before the possibly 3 inches of rain fell starting at 1PM.
I found a collapsible Finally I cleaned up my garlic bed. It needs another once over digging and amending before I plant...???
I noticed some of my garlic has dried out. Guess I will cut and continue the dehydration and storage.
When I was digging last month I found one German Red Garlic bulb which just fell apart, BUT, is viable for planting soon.
2025 wasn't a great year for garlic Anyway, so I'll take the harvest at a win. I went to the 2 acre in town garden in September and was surprised that Their garlic, same type, was 1/2 the size of mine.
I am reposting the shot this morning of my tow wagon, full of the trash grasses and weeds growing in my garlic bed, ready to burning soon. I found a folding chair in my basement with Illini logos--Salsa Party guest must have left it with me in the past--and I left it out for the rain to clean it up a bit before storage. Looks like this:
I also hung 3 canvas buckets on the fence for rain cleaning. As soon as They are dry enough, they will be stored for the winter, too. Put away almost all cheap tomato cages, too and covered my stacked stairs, formally on the porch, with a tarp to keep them clean until next year's party. They were awful next to my round glass patio table bc you couldn't sit and eat--I now have 4 Bistro chairs there for That--but Very comfortable as outside party chairs. Look this like;
WHen I boiught them from a local Ace Hardware with the glass table on clearance, they asked me what color chairs I wanted. I said, All of them. So I have brown, red, blue and bright green.
