This morning I harvested garlic scapes to preserve in olive oil & apple cider vinegar for cooking.
We have had more cloudy days then sunny, so I had given up on the garlic making scapes this year. Went out this morning to check on the garlic and the scapes seemed to have appeared overnight. That's one of the things I like about gardening there are always surprises.

My garlic did well this year, I probably got 10 good bulbs and ate most of it.

Seems like here in Texas the weeds are the only thing thriving. Everything else is slow growing or stunted.
Michelle, I plan on saving garlic to plant in the fall. Hopefully next year will be a better year for garlic and all other garden plants.
I woke at four this morning so it was a good time to be in my Yellow Rose Cottage before the sun came up. I gathered the garlic together into three bundles. If the garlic was normal size it would have been 5 or 6 bundles. The garlic is now hanging in the hall bathroom on the shower rod. There's a A/C vent in there and it's dark so the garlic should be cured in a month. Next week the other tub should be ready to harvest.

Sara, remember to save some garlic for planting this fall, or whenever you plant garlic. I have picked a few radishes and that is all so far. replanted corn, lettuce and carrots. I am staying on top of the weeds.

Sheila I know what you mean about the price of herbs! I try to grow & dry quite a few. Will be looking up a recipe for a white dill sauce-sounds delicious on those potatoes! |

The leaves of one tub of garlic were all turning brown so I harvested it this morning. The garlic was not quite ready but it couldn't stay in the ground any longer. Once the leaves start dying you have to get the garlic out. The garlic is half the size it should be, too many dark and wet days, not enough sun. After it is cured for a month I will dry it and make garlic powder. The other tub may be ready to harvest next week but I would rather it be week after next so the bulbs will be bigger and make better keepers .

Connie your flowers look so pretty, and your tomatoes are looking good.
My Rhubarb is up I have harvested some to freeze for pies later and waiting & hoping the other stalks will continue to grow, the red stalks are so pretty. I have also picked some dill, my husband made a raised bed, and I planted herbs. Laster year I had to buy a small jar of dill and it was $6, I told him that I would be growing some and drying it because I was so shocked over the price I had to pay. I love the smell of dill, I like to make a white sauce and add dill to it then put the sauce over boiled potatoes with a touch of butter yummy.

Lovely garden Connie! Enjoy your soon to be ready tomatoes and green beans. We still have a little while until our tomatoes and green beans are ready. We had a super late start this year. But I did pick my first 3 sugar snap peas yesterday, so everything will be ready before I know it.

Connie, love it all. At first glance I thought the chickens were real. I am picking cukes and green beans every other day. Got to can the cukes. I've already made a cucumber tomato and onion salad. We can change our gardens to our needs.

Thank you Sara! I got those chickens from Walmart Garden center. They are made of Tin.
We both know how The heat affects MS! so I try to get planted while it's still cool. I water in the evening. Lily June is 8 now and she loves to water. She loves to eat the Cherry Tomatoes right off the vine. I have 4 Cherry and 2 Beefsteak Tomatoes all in containers. They do well.

Connie your gardens are beautiful. I had to look twice to make sure the chickens weren't real. Like you I deal with MS and do most of my gardening in containers and galvanized tubs.

No scapes here in Wisconsin yet. I have good sized garlic plants, and the leaves are starting to yellow on the tips. We have been dry and I am back to watering things again.

Several years ago I lost my garlic when temps got down to 7 below zero. Lisa, I hope your potatoes do good for you. I do like new potatoes with plenty of butter.
