Vampires Beware
In spite of 96 degree heat, I dug the garlic this afternoon.
There are 60-ish bulbs there. Some are good size, some are smallish. I must get some organic matter into the garlic bed before I replant this fall. It is almost all clay and was more like breaking bricks than harvesting garlic. The next batch of compost is definitely going on the garlic bed. This morning I quilted on my mom’s quilt.
Her quilt is also a “tumbler” pattern like this quilt, but hers has muted earth-tone prints instead of pastels. In an effort to use the cabbage, I made corned beef with cabbage, potatoes and carrots for supper tonight. Kind of a heavy meal for summer, but it was tasty. And there are left-overs for tomorrow night.
