Garlic!

Harvested our garlic crop yesterday. Pretty involved...plant in the fall...mulch...overwinters...water...water...water...then you wait til it's about half dead-looking before digging it up...then it has to hang for 2-3 weeks to cure. There are two varieties, a hardneck rocambole called Music Pink, which had a amazing 2-3 foot bloom, but was harder to dig up...and a softneck artichoke called Inchelium Red.

Then comes the enjoying!
