I got half my garlic crop planted this afternoon and hope to plant the rest tomorrow and also spread the rice hulls to mulch them from the winter rains and weeds. We will be cutting the pumpkins off the vines this week and perhaps the Sweat Meat winter squash the following week.
I ordered my garlic from Guerneys for some reason that I can not recall. They sent me a card that it would not be shipped until the fall.
They kept me updated with several cards during the summer, giving the date of arrival. About a week before I was supposed to receive them, I got a card that said out of stock -refund coming.
I have a few bulbs leftover from the supermarket, so I guess I’ll try those. sigh
Got mine in a on the 8th; planted 300 or so sq ft of winter wheat the 9th. Lord help me, I forgot to check my moon signs & Farmers Almanac!
Been subbing for the wife, as well as trying to get my own chores done; she broke her wrist last month, and had to have a plate installed. Between the awkwardness of the cast; not being able to get it wet; and not being allowed to lift anything even if she can get ahold of it, it is amazing how many things she can get out of doing.
She tripped while spraying brush; fortunately, she didn’t hurt the sprayer.
