Garlic Harvest

I harvested my garlic and the bulbs are not as big as I hoped, but they are welcomed anyway.

I’ve had them drying on the patio table out of direct sun for a couple days now. They smell so wonderful.

They will be delicious in stir-fries and stews this fall and winter if they last that long. Remember this is a new garden spot and the soil is not that great yet. We are adding organic matter to the beds that will make the soil better.

Before photos.

This is my small garden so far. I have plans to make it larger in the fall and next spring. The beds are deeper than it looks. The roots have plenty of space to expand. You can see how deep the second bed is. I’m adding mulch between the beds. They’re wide so my cart can fit between the beds.

So far, fingers crossed, not a problem with deer or other animals even though I’ve seen tracks.
