During the past couple of days, I've started again. In an era when many are jobless, it's important to have perspective. Still, it is nice to do what I enjoy,
This week I bought 2 large plastic bins for container planters. I planted garlic and multiplier onions. One variety of garlic has been growing in my yard for 6 or 7 years, Incehlium red. The plants that I had in containers did very well. The plants in the garden were inhibited by weeds. I also bought via mail order, from Southern Exposure, a couple of German Garlic heads. These had huge cloves, but were a bit soft. Both are planted. If they grow, I'll have above 50 heads this fall.
I planted white potato onions this week, also in container. This year the patch was overtaken by weeds, and I'm more and more sold on containers. This is a bit late. I've planted them as late as January, and I think they did OK, so late Oct planting should work too.
There are still some peppers and tomatoes and figs. Not bad considering I let them all go to weeds this summer.
