What Not To Do During A Heatwave

Harvest garlic.


It was certainly a chore, but I pulled the rest of the garlic. The leaves were looking so brown and dried out, I was certain that if I left them in the ground much longer, there wouldn't be any wrappers left to protect the cloves. Because I have today off and this is the only day in the next week & 1/2 that I could possibly get the job done, I knuckled down and did it.

I planted 10 different varieties this year. I'm not sure how many bulbs I have--somewhere just under 100. They're all drying in the basement. Smells incredible in here!

Man, I'm exhausted.
