Music Garlic. 10.15.18
Music Garlic Cloves to Plant. Planted 10.5.18 |
I still have some saved garlic cloves to plant from this year's crop. Four days ago I planted some (I think it was "German Red" - big, red skinned, pungent cloves) but did not have it labeled. I developed a back strain digging the heavy soil this time, so need to wait until that is better before planting the saved "Inchelium Red". I think I'm growing the "Inchelium Red" more for sentimental, than practical reasons now. That "German Red" actually seems more productive, with larger cloves.

As a puppy, Rufus has boundless energy and mischief. He's very affectionate. He is a mix of lab, poodle, and gremlin. I'm hoping for a long, happy, healthy, loving life ahead for my buddy Rufus.

First Chestnuts. 10.12.18
Maraval Chestnuts. 1.21.18 |
My rule of thumb, for when trees first bear fruit, is one or two fruits the first year, 10 or 20 the second year, then a bowl or two or three the following year. It's not a perfect rule, but interesting to think about.
I will keep these at room temperature for 2 to 4 days, then roast them. That information is via WashingtonChestnuts.com.

Yates American Persimmon. 10.9.18 |
These are delicious.
I planted this tree in January, 2015. Not bad, just 3 years old.
