That being said, I think they've come out rather well this year.<br /><br />I'm rather envious of your kohlrabi.Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354350096358468967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-84354563293880444722016-07-12T06:29:04.172-04:002016-07-12T06:29:04.172-04:00Your garlic looks amazing!!

I've stopped watering that bed and will likely be digging it up in a couple of weeks - I'm dreading what I will find, as there are several vole tunnels in that bed.<br /><br />That's too bad about the bean seeds - I had pretty terrible germination last year when I tried to pre-sprout the Oceanis, which was a new packet. The seed I saved from the few plants that I did end up getting have done much better (although I direct sowed them this time). That's one thing with beans and peas - they are so easy to save that I only purchase them once and after that, I save my own seed unless I run into disease issues.<br /><br />And we are both in the same weather boat it seems - we did have one nice, wet day where we had a few hours of drizzle, but otherwise, nothing. And it's been so hot that the ground seemed just as dry the next day.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-36790684958563741532016-07-11T15:17:28.771-04:002016-07-11T15:17:28.771-04:00It does look like you had a good year for garlic! ...It does look like you had a good year for garlic! I dry mine in the basement all the time, with the dehumidifier running. I know what you mean about the brockali. I have two plants each of Artwork and Apollo, and I am lucky to ever have enough at one time to even make a side dish. I love the stuff but even four plants doesn't seem to be enough, at least here. I will say that it is making more side shoots now than the regular heading broccoli, but then it's been so hot I'm not sure if that's a fair evaluation.Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-51709842454374859352016-07-11T14:57:57.474-04:002016-07-11T14:57:57.474-04:00Hopefully those rain storms will get to you this w...Hopefully those rain storms will get to you this week. Your garlic harvest looks nice. I have mine in the garage and now I'm wondering if that's a bad idea. It seems everywhere is hot and humid around here. I guess that means I should put them in the house somewhere.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00193278804750154921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-54641055112962731102016-07-11T14:45:16.611-04:002016-07-11T14:45:16.611-04:00If you want rain, Dave, you should be over here!

Your garlic looks good - especially in a year when gardeners here in the UK have all been hit by devastating Rust on their alliums.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-22929677509421394932016-07-11T12:13:48.917-04:002016-07-11T12:13:48.917-04:00Oh I am so envious of that garlic!

But that leaves more room for onions! The first green peppers, exciting! My plants are just starting to set a few fruits.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-30682954273884861612016-07-11T10:05:57.391-04:002016-07-11T10:05:57.391-04:00I guess we got the rain that missed you, Dave.

Moving to the basement to cure is a great idea, and will make your whole house smell like an Italian restaurant.Eight Gate Farm NHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15877942009419912353noreply@blogger.com
