Too much rain + partly shady garden site = sad garlic. Not a total failure, but definitely not the harvest we were hoping for. Nothing was wasted though, as I oven-dried the cloves to enjoy this winter in soups and stews.
But we shall not be defeated. One bulb from Chris and Jenny’s gift will be saved and planted this fall as we try again in another spot. Dare I call it sowing the seeds of love?
