Thanks for that recipe. I have all those ingredients at home already. Have a safe Halloween!
Garlic is up about 2 inches. Got some straw to put on the bed probably Monday.
Today, I’ve been working on getting another garden bed ready for garlic-finally got the shipment of Siberian Garlic delivered.
I find that I have to rest about every ten minutes-didn’t used to be that way. Takes a lot longer to get stuff done. We have to go to St. Louis tomorrow for hubby’s MRI, so it may be Monday before I get around to planting the garlic too.
Since we finally got a frost, I think it may be safe to sow some winter wheat. And finish up the rest of the beds. I dug up a bedraggled pepper plant to bring in and it’s looking perky now. Bay leaf is in the green house. Lemon trees are inside the basement next to the patio doors and under the new grow light.
Still have a tumeric in a pot that I need to harvest. Will plant some in a pot for next spring and I think maybe freeze some and dry the rest.
Still picking beans and baking squash. The squash baking has slowed down a bit, most of the ones that were damaged have been dealt with already. The ones that weren’t damaged should keep for a while.
I got a 4x30 bed of garlic and winter wheat planted. I’m hoping the wheat helps control the weeds. My previous garlic patch got so overgrown with thistles, nettles, and wild parsnip, that it’s hazardous to even walk through! I planted the wheat pretty densely. We’ll see what happens.
Field peas worked really well as a cover crop! They didn’t taste like the peas we’re used to, but they grew fast and strangled any weed that tried to challenge them! Hopefully that means next year’s garden will be a little easier. I don’t have the equipment to actually harvest the field peas, but I did grab a few ripe pods from around the edge.
Time to plan next year’s garden.
