Gardening

I pay close attention to how high the leaf drying. When it's about 1/3, it's ready.

The weather, this year, might work in my favor. We didn't really get a deep freeze, last Winter, so the thaw was early. We've had a good balance of rain and hot weather. I've got some very robust garlic growing where it's never grown before. I also use the smaller stuff, too. I use the really small heads of garlic in a lot of cooking and he small cloves as a garlic pill. I smash a couple of them and then swallow them whole, washing them down with water. My grandfather used to eat several LARGE cloves, every morning - chewed them up and swallowed them down. He lived to 97.

I'll spend the weekend getting everything ready so that I can get it pulled, bundled and hung for curing. It should be ready in time to use with my garden produce.
