I started planting garlic on October 15th. That was after spending a couple of days preparing the seed bed.

I have a bit more space this year, so I planted 105 of each of my five varietals.

I also have Siberian White and River Giant (which might be my personal favorite), but was too tired by the time I got to them to remember to take photos.

I will finish mulching with straw once we go and buy more straw!  We will also mulch the carrots and should have fresh carrots well into December. — I will finish mulching with straw once we go and buy more straw! We will also mulch the carrots and should have fresh carrots well into December.

When I started, the mulberry tree stood resplendent in fall foliage.

Today, we started our first fire in our wood burning stove, and the mulberry let down her tresses.

I think I finished planting just in time. Whew!
