My favorite part after a long winter. Zone 3.

May have over done the mulch, as the center of the raised beds are still frozen. The thawed edges however have a few troopers emerging.

Zone 6b, suppose to get to -5c tonight. Will my garlic be fine or should I cover them with something?

They're about a foot tall, maybe a bit more and doing very well this year but we're having a late frost tonight before it gets back to normal temperatures, will they be fine for one night? I don't want too many leaves to die back. Or should I cover them?

Desert garlic storage

I live in the desert. It gets hot… real hot. I always have a great crop of garlic but have storage trouble due to the heat. My house is pretty small with no basement. The last few years I have tried storing hard neck garlic in the garage but it tends to dry out. Any tips on storage?

“Witches Broom”

Does anybody have experience with this? How to troubleshoot it?

I read that it’s caused by too much N.

That is the only one bursting out so far, but others are showing signs.

Pulled back the soil to show the bulb stage.

Reducing the smell of raw garlic

I’m going to start eating a clove or two of raw garlic before bed for my health, but I’m worried about the smell of my sweat and breath.

Does anyone have tips to reduce this?

Wild garlic

I’ve been tending to some wild garlic in my back yard over the past few years. Last year I finally got them to form full bulbs!

Looking for a strong, spicy purple garlic

When I lived in New Mexico the garlic I bought had purple and it was much stronger than what I could get back home. To the point I had to adjust my cooking. I would love to grow it at home but I have no idea what type of garlic it was.
