GARLIC


Another beautiful fall day here, perfect for working outside. First job this morning was to get a load of topsoil and fill the two new raised garden beds.

After lunch it was time to plant garlic.


It is one of the foods I need to eat regularly as it:

1) Improves cholesterol levels

2) Reduces blood pressure

3) Boost the immune system

4) Highly Nutritious

plus a host of other excellent properties.

Mary was able to plant 171 garlic cloves and with the new location and new soil we are expecting an excellent harvest next June.

If you grow garlic let us know of your best strategy for getting a bumper crop.

Thanks for stopping by.
