This weekend we started to plant our garlic with the help of our cousins Bob, Christopher and Vesta. With their help we flew through planting two rows of about 150 plants each. We saved the best of our garlic from this season and replanted it this year. Anna and I are separating the head of garlic into individual cloves to be planted, only the largest cloves from the best heads are used. We will plant Chesnok Red, Inchelium Red, Red Janice Asian Purple and Asian Tempest.
In the top picture we are getting ready to plant a clove of garlic under the weed barrier in each cut-out. Pointed side up and deep enough to cover with soil. We had some good conversation, we love getting extra help, especially from people as enthusiastic and insightful as Christopher and Vesta. After we finished feeding chickens, collecting eggs and planting garlic we had some of Bob's chicken curry (They brought dinner too!).
