Great Garlic




























Rick pulled the first garlic the other day. The leaves are starting to wither so we can probably pull all of them this weekend. I want to see if I can braid them to hang them to dry. This first bulb was used in a simple pasta with herbs and olive oil. We were blown away by the favour and fragrance. Just amazing. For our first experience with it, garlic has been a resounding success. Aesthetically too, they've been a real treat. The scapes earlier in the season were beautiful curls and now the bulbs are a pleasing pink. Considering that Rick and I basically don't make a dinner without garlic these are definitely plants worth growing again.
