Lady Bender took this photo for me this morning. It's the only veggie growing this year but hopefully we'll have a good crop of Blue Berries... 155996683_3666490270053401_1996289985560720192_n

Your garlic is always the HAPPIEST garlic I’ve ever seen! :)

Thanks for the picture. Nice looking garlic. The garlic I planted last fall that was leftover from the prior year’s batch is just a little shorter than yours. It still a light layer of straw, which I’ll remove after the last frost date.

It seems to have survived the freeze with minimal brown tips. The other bed was planted later, due to a shipping delay from the supplier. It’s under straw so I’m not sure what’s going on with it.

I’m going to experiment with growing some beets and carrots in a pot this year and see if I have better luck that. way.
My extension guide has the end of march for the date to start tomatoes and peppers— it’s hard to wait, but in the past, pushing it sooner has not worked out well for me-we are rated as being the same as Northern Missouri.

Central Mo. gets a head start over us. Ha.
