I pulled all of my garlic (somewhere between 175 and 200), despite the humidity we were having. It needed done, and the remainder of the garden is still too wet. One job done, and only a few bulbs didn't come up. And thankfully only a few rotten bulbs.
It was wet I tell ya'. I hosed a ton of mud off the garlic, but rain was due again (which we got late afternoon yesterday), and I wasn't losing it. I had to hose off myself and my garden gloves. That one in the photo was a Russian Giant variety, but my new variety and my own were not much smaller than that. I have to admit though, the variety I've planted for years, had the most smallest ones too. I may do away with it, and only plant the other two. I guess we'll do a taste test first. Hence, the area I planted is the best area to grow it. And not far from the peach tree (which helps ward off bugs and what not).
My first ever, quart bag of blanched shell peas made their way to the freezer. Even if it's the only one, it's one step ahead of last season.
