garlic

So what have we been up to lately?  In addition to keeping you up to date on all our goings on, this blog also serves as a farm journal for myself and Randy, so we have a record of what we did and when.

This is positively the best time of year for working outdoors.  We were really hoping the cover crops seeds would come in before our weekend trip down to the farm, but of course they didn't.  But our soil test results were in the mailbox when we got there!

This morning, Randy pulled up all the Early Italian Purple and Inchelium Red garlic at the Angelus Street Garden.  These two soft-neck varieties have been very productive and problem free for us.  Inchelium Red is listed in the Slow Food USA Ark of Taste, a catalogue of over 200 delicious heirloom foods that are in danger of extinction!  We're doing our part to keep this distinctive variety from disappearing.
