Well, not really much to update about. There isn’t really anything happening at the moment. Snowy days. Cold ground. But I went past anyway just to check things out.
The garlic is just barely peaking out through the snow. Leaves patiently waiting for warmer days to make a move. These are from some large cloves I bought at the organic grocery store. I’m hoping that these cloves turn into huge bulbs in the spring. Very curious to see the results. This is the first time that we’re growing garlic, so I’m hoping for a good finish! Plus, I love garlic. Nothing like being able to breathe your colleagues half to death because of last night's meal.
In October I had already turned most of the soil over. I emptied our compost bin into the garden and worked it in as best I could. For the garlic section, I added a bit more and worked the ground as loose as possible. The cloves went in about 2-3 cm. In late November I covered it up with a layer of dead leaves for insulation.
Seems like its working out alright. Still going strong even through the cold. And when warm weather comes, I’m hoping for some good growth action as the plant bolts to form bulbs.
