We had a wonderful day yesterday planting garlic! It was so beautiful out- the sun was shining, and the air had that delightful autumn crisp. We planted the garlic at Candy Lane Elementary where it will be safe from flooding and compacted soil. While weeding and making the beds, it was great to see so much life in the soil. Plenty of worms!
We planted garlic from seed we saved from this years harvest. It is a hardneck variety called “Persian Star.” We couldn’t have asked for nicer seed garlic- the heads were big and every clove plantable.
We hope you love garlic as much as we do, because we will be eating lots of it next year in our 2011 Summer CSA Shares!
