Thanks for the ping. Just got in from weeding and watering the garden. Only about half of the first Garlic bed survived. Yukon Gold potatoes still haven’t bloomed, but the russets I planted about 3 weeks later have.

The Yukon Gold has really great looking green tops—Normally they would have bloomed by now. Not sure what is going on.

Hubby went to the grocery store yesterday and I now have another 15 lbs of various meat specials to can.

Also picked up some canning jars - we still have no canning lids other than those on the jars. I’m taking the one on the jars off and putting in bags with the date. Then using the stockpile I bought a couple of years ago.

Hoping the garlic will be ready to harvest this week. I am running out of space in my beds, and I have some transplants that are begging to be in the Big Bed. Ha.

My garlic is sending up scapes and my potatoes and onions for seed are on the verge of flowering.

me too....I over did it on the zuchs and winter squash, although at this point I can't really tell one from the other....
