Getting The Garlic Ready

 

This year we are doing it right.  Mark ordered some garlic.

The weather is just right.

First you need to brake the bulbs apart into individual cloves.

Then you soake them in alcohol or proxide for 5 minutes.




Next they are rinsed and put into some type of fertilizer for 30 min.

If you are lucky enough a Wammyville dad will carry the bags of dirt and fertilizer from the car.

Then Pappy can rip the open and dump them.  And then the show begins!

Oh look, it's Murph with clothes on.

But not for long!


The man is NUTS!

Time to grid the bed so we get every clove the right amount of inches apart.

exactly 4 inches


Covered with straw and put to bed for the winter.

We ended up planting...
26 California White softneck
41 Chesnok red purple stripe hardneck
57 Ivan porcelion hardneck


And we have room for a little more.
