We worked on barn wood all day Sunday. We are very tired and sore. I took photos, but will load them later to share. As soon as we finished removing boards so we could load up a trailer, a stranger pulled in wanting the metal hay rail. We now know why the other guy wanted it - money. Each little metal piece (photo to come later) is worth $10.00. Not including the rail. So this stranger, after we did all the work, just drives on in and asks for it for free. I'm going to put signs up for those types of people. Oh, and the stranger immediately asked for the pulleys. Hm. The nerve of people.
So, without photos of the barn clean up, I'll share my garlic. A frost is possible in a week or so, and I wanted this job done.
Last year I planted about 175 cloves of garlic.

This year?
I planted 70 cloves of Moroccan Creole, 56 cloves of Russian Giant, and 100 cloves of our regular variety (so far - we have no idea what type it is, as we were gifted it to start our first garlic bed years ago).
Grand total so far: 226 cloves of garlic

In the fall I also dehydrate a lot of our current garlic, and grind it into garlic powder. Pure home grown, chemical free, no fillers, no anti-caking agents, goodness.
Many of my recipes call for fresh, but some call for powdered. These recipes are listed using what I grow or make, so you can adapt and of course reduce for smaller families.
Here are a few recipes (and links to recipes) I use my home ground garlic powder in:
