There's something peaceful about being in a garden after the thunder and rain have passed. This morning the thunderstorm didn't let up until after lunch. The sun came out and I waited a couple of hours for the grass to dry a bit before I ventured out to see how my plants faired during the heavy rain & wind. Happy to tell you there wasn't a broken stem or a blossom lost. My 5 tomato plants are thriving, and each has several blossoms though the plants are just a little over a foot tall. The zinnias are beginning to bloom and the yarrow finally has started to grow. Herbs on the back deck are healthy and the yellow pansies are hanging on. Don't know how the pansies will do in the summer heat but for now they are beautiful.

Tara I planted hard neck garlic so I should have plenty of scapes come early summer to preserve in olive oil.

I planted 50 garlic cloves. Some have started to sprout. My husband is hoping some will flower as he loves the scapes.
Today's good mood brought to you by a lot of coffee!!!

Today I snipped the tips of my garlic spouts for a dish I made for lunch. With only my herbs still green it was good to have something else to cut and use in cooking. Green garlic as I tend to think of it has a mild garlic flavor.

Yay! Garlic sprouted! My Garlic Chives loves the cold air unless it's just waaay cold. It bounces right back as it warms up.
I cut it all the way down several times year.

Connie, I'm late seeing your post. Happy you are pleased with your bulbs.
The garlic I planted on Oct 16 has spouted because of the 80s temps during the day and 60s at night. The leaves are falling so soon they will be covered and protected if it ever cools down. During the winter I can cut the green garlic spouts for cooking, a mild garlic flavor. I take a couple of inches off the spouts as I need them.

Krista,I'm just gonna try about 6, after my initial excitement, I see it will be tedious work!
It is a great idea,just to set the whole Kit and Kaboodle in the ground or pot!

Connie, that is a neat idea, but does seem like a lot of work. I am curious to see how they turn out for you.

Connie, I guess you add potting soil and a seed or two into a blown-out eggshell. Let me know how it turns out. I have never had any luck with blowing out an eggshell. It is a neat idea.

Oh, my Michelle I need to sit down and rest after hearing what is on your to-do list.
I do want to add a couple of yellow mums this fall; one for the front porch and one for the deck. Also, one pot of three yellow pansies for my deck. Don't know why but yellow mums or pansies are hard to find in Paris.

Very pretty. My gardens are cleaned out. The garlic is planted. Sit back and relax time.........well not so much, but we will eventually. Wood to cut, cows to move, plowing to do.

Those are beautiful, Connie. Must confess I ordered the first ones I came to; I liked them that much. One of the reasons I shop with Eden Brothers is I find their website easy to use.
