Garlic all came up!

My very first year ever growing garlic. Bought common bulbs at the local store so I can get my feet wet. One of those garden delights that I have been wanting to grow for so long. So many different varieties to try! Thank you FD for the pesto recipe. I will put it in the garden recipe section!

Happy to report that some of my garlic is peeping above the shredded leaves! Also the rhubarb is burbling out of the ground in rosy swirled confusion. Ground is still frozen in many areas though...

Same here! 50 out of 50 and all look very healthy. See, the bad winter was good for something. Now, I'm hoping we all get a good harvest.

Yes, I suspect voles (field mice) also.

I ordered my Creole from Filaree Garlic Farms, and I too was very happy with the order. I'm going to try Hood River next time. Thanks for the recommendation.
