Planted 120 cloves of garlic and 64 daffodils. We had a good crop of garlic this summer and I saved the big heads to be used for seed. We have our fingers crossed for another good crop next year.
The garden is getting big for Lisa and I. Sometimes it’s tough to find homes for all the veggies it produces.
A few weeks ago I picked all of the green tomatoes and put them in the dark basement to ripen and ripen they did – all at once. We have made and canned sauce, salsa and tomato soup. Lisa has also dried plenty and has them stored for use.
We decided to put the remaining ones (7 beer flats worth) out on a table by the road with a FREE sign. Lisa also put a notice on Facebook group advertising free stuff.
Fifteen minutes later the tomatoes were gone. That Facebook is something else! We had people coming for hours after and turning around when they saw they were all gone. Lisa put up an updated notice on the Facebook post saying they were gone to save any others the trip.
We were glad to see them go. The garden took a beating from the grasshoppers but the tomatoes strived.
Other than kale and beats the garden is just about done for the year. Next week is calling for snow. We shall see.

Kudos to you two for the garden work.

My garden doesn’t produce much of anything – and even flowers only flower for the minimum period and then give up and just have greenery. I’ve tried improving the soil with horse muck and suchlike but it doesn’t seem to help anything but the weeds!

My weeds were not too bad this year because the grasshoppers ate them as well.

Wow love those tomatoes! They beat the grasshoppers … Hope you have a super crop of garlic. We have a tiny crop this year .. still not planted in the hillside garden 🙂

It was an awesome crop. Good luck with your garlic and your planting. I am sure you have the potatoes in if you plan to have a feed of new ones at Christmas. Take care.
