Garlic Harvest

Last week we harvested our garlic! You will know when it is time to harvest when 1/3 of the plant has turned brown.  You can eat the garlic fresh right now, but in order for it to last it needs to be dried on the stalk.  The best way to do that is to hang it to allow for air to get evenly all around the plant.  We hang it in our garage and in a few weeks we will be ready to sell the cured garlic!

We saved some of our best looking heads from last year and used it as seed garlic to plant this year's crop and will do the same next year!

Our flowers are coming along beautifully and new this year are our sunflowers! I love these varieties because they are not typical of what you usually see. This variety is delicate and pale yellow. We sell them as a bunch at the market and they make great gifts for a friend or for yourself!
