It’s been a funny year for the garden. Very wet in the spring through May, then very hot in June, and now milder in July and even rain as I write this – a nice change! Our garlic and onions, planted in December of last year, have weathered it all pretty well and were ready for harvest in early July. Here are the drying for a few days in the sun before going into the garage, where it is cool and dark, to rest until completely dry and ready to be stored for the fall and winter.
It should be noted that, having lived all my life in the city, I know next to nothing about gardening, so I am sure that you who are experts will wonder what I am on about. Each season and each new year presents new opportunities to learn a little bit more, mainly through having things go wrong and trying to fix them. Plus I spend a lot of time looking for gardening advice on the site of the Royal Horticultural Society.
