Over night we had another .3 inches of rain for a total of 2.6 this three-day storm. Whew! But this morning is overcast and essentially dry. And the good soaking has pleased the garlic and shallots which are poking their heads up out of the dirt a good inch or more since I last ventured out to have a look. Yay!We need more garlic, planted in a couple three weeks, so the next bed comes ready later than this bed. Garlic dries and stores just fine, but green garlic -- fresh from the earth -- has less bite and a more subtle flavor.
Also garlic greens make a sort of garlic flavored chive or green onion type vegetable. Very nice on salads, in stir fry etc.
Also, would like to avoid eating all the crop this time in order to let some go to seed. (Grin.) I have read that the flower tops when young are excellent stir fried.
Today: Overcast, threatening but not raining. Temps in high 50s, 67 in the house all day without heat on. On the broadband: Celtic Radio http://www.accuradio.com/celtic/
