Have I mentioned before that you are a great inspiration! You are so organized and methodical. I seem to throw things into the ground - although I keep according to the seasons and moon cycles. My husband asked me why I was planting garlic last week if I hadn't first chilled the garlic. Ummm.....ooops
Garlic is kinda cool!
Sure, there's the BEST way, and that's planting in mid fall, so it overwinters, but, you can also plant now, and it will be perfect for a late fall harvest,. Also, you can harvest smaller, garlic, and use it. Still tastes great, and its mild, not strong flavor is perfect. As is the garlic greens!
So, nothing wrng wiht planting garlic in spring.
Ah, but here in South Africa it is mid Fall ;) I held back some garlic to delay another couple weeks because our weather is still all over the place. Seasons aren't sure if they're heading in or out of summer!
You nailed that he is very organized and methodical. I watched his season last year and the harvest that he brought in from the space in his backyard. It was pretty cool.
It must've been! It's a privilege to learn from someone like that
