The peas have come down and this week the garlic will go in the ground, an experiment suggested by the former editor of Organic Gardening at the Seed Savers Exchange conference.\u00a0 This is about a month plus earlier than suggested by other garlic growers, including Seed Savers Exchange.\u00a0 He claims it gives greater yield.\u00a0\u00a0 Since my new varieties of garlic will not come until September 10th or so, I’ll have a ready comparison the same beds.<\/p>\n
