Garlic

Rick C had planted some garlic in his yard, and it didn't really get enough sun, so he sort of forgot about it. Checking that area recently, he noticed that some heads had survived and begun to sprout. So he dug them up and brought them to the farm. We decided to till up this spot, in row 6, where the peppers had been pulled out. The green you see is borage seedlings. I moved some of them, and we just tilled in the rest.

Here Rick runs the tiller over the space.

Now it's all tilled up and ready to plant.

We put in the first bunch, and Rick said he had more, so he went back and dug up the rest.

Rick feels triumphant.

Rick and Rick even made me get in the picture. This whole fat row is stuffed with garlic starts. We're gonna have lots of nice garlic.

This broccoli is almost ready. Isn't it gorgeous? I wish we'd planted more.

The mustard patch is thriving too, and I picked some for our dinner tonight.

The beer garden looks lovely in the afternoon light, with the last leaves still on the trees.
