No progress on the potting shed. It's still sitting on the skids in my front yard. Garden is still a mess but there will be time to clean it up over the winter. Garlic is up about 3". I need to get a layer of compost on top of it before the really bad weather gets here.

I took advantage of the warm weather over the weekend to work on my log pile. 16 15' logs and 10 9' logs are out so far. I've got a few more dead trees that need to come down and then it will be time to call the log buyer and have them hauled away.

The tops are yielding mountains of firewood. I've lost count of how many loader buckets I've dumped on my pile. I took two pickup loads to Dad yesterday and have that much more that's been cut to fit his stoves piled up in my back field.

Seems like you got a lot done over the weekend. My garlic is about 9 inches; I'm thinking I might have planted it a bit too early. I put quite a bit of straw on the bed when I planted it this fall, and it has a row cover over it.

I grow all he garlic I need and then some, but that only takes a 3x4 foot bed. I plant some of the left overs every fall. If I ever had to sell a crop, it would probably be garlic; not much effort needed, and have so far been fairly successful with it.

Love the picture - thanks for posting it.
