Oh, I know. :oops: I'm terrible. *hanging my head in shame* I definitely plan on saving some to plant next spring, but, if I don't have enough...
Thanks, @Sjoerd ! I'm keeping an eye on that moldy spot. It's dry now. I have them drying in the cellar, but I don't know what to do with them...
This just popped into my head, but if the soil sample comes back clean, check for copper nails or pins.
@Sjoerd - Yes. I may have waited too long before pulling it. Also, it rained yesterday and I forgot I had it hanging on the fence. It is now...
Mine were kind of small, too. I decided to order more to plant just in case, figuring I'd taste mine and the new ones, compare the flavors and...
That looks like the spots we sometimes get on our Maples in my neighborhood. I'm not sure it's the same thing, but looks a lot like it. I don't...
@Cayuga Morning - I plan to purchase compost, etc. a year in advance and let them solarize for a full summer from now on and use the...
Thank you, Daniel. That is all very helpful information. I read that earthworms were considered alien and invasive to our area, too. That...
@Cayuga Morning - I've got the jumping worms in my garden, too. I was thinking of solarizing and then repopulating with store-bought...
Wow! I'm not finding any regular earthworms in my gardens anymore at all! Only these jumping worms. I thought it strange that I wasn't seeing...
Oops. I learned after the fact that I wasn't supposed to trim them until AFTER they finished curing. Oh well. I still have half the bed to...
I've harvested half of my garlic last week and plan to harvest the rest this week. I think it might be time to harvest the shallots, too. Any...
Well, my brother-in-law didn't want to use the scapes. I guess he was a bit intimidated by them since he is unfamiliar with them. I just don't...
Thanks, @Cayuga Morning ! I'm relieved to hear that the animals won't go for the garlic. I've been using one or two scapes at a time with meat,...
Thank you, @Tetters . That little animal sure has a cute little voice but that's not the sound. So far, I've heard it at dawn and dusk. It...
That is so cute! I've only seen regular grey squirrels around here, except yesterday I saw a red one on the way to church. It could be a squirrel...
@Melody Mc. Those are great anecdotes. I can only imagine how you must have felt while Chi Chi inspected your eyes, ears and nose. My co-worker...
Last autumn, I began hearing a bird that makes a sound similar to the accelerating whir (wine) sound of a truck engine. I'd hear it occasionally...
I sure wish we had hedgehogs here. Our climate is too rough for them and we have too many predators.
@Cayuga Morning - How is your harvest this year? How many did you plant to get that harvest in your picture? I just got my garlic scapes! I...
