It's garlic time!!!!

I love garlic harvest time! It was so fun to have Jesse Here to help me with the digging and cleaning. We did this last Monday.

 I keep the garlic in a dry, warm, shady place to dry for a few days. I am careful not to let the bulbs touch each other at first...to avoid the dreaded  turquoise fungus!

 

 

By Thursday evening the garlic was ready to braid. I sat out in the cooling air and wove about 15 braids from 150 bulbs. My favorite part is bringing it all into the house and hanging the braids in the kitchen where they will add flavor and nutrition to my culinary efforts throughout the year.

I'll send a braid to each of my kids soon.

Yummm!!!
