    Congratulations on the garlic! What a sense of accomplishment, growing your own from seeds! Great job! If the wire ties fail, try pop rivets.

    Great garlic harvest. Ive saw people braid garlic for storage, we use to roast garlic or grill them and make garlic butter. ❤

      Was going to say the same. Not sure how you make yours but they could do something simple like just slice a clove up and put it in some butter on the stove over low heat to simmer for a little bit to flavor the butter and then brush it all over a loaf of French bread sliced in half to make some garlic bread. Really good with mozzarella cheese all over it as well. Y’all did good growing the garlic for the first time. Maybe next time do hard neck for some bigger cloves. I’ve never seen anyone hang them upset down. I’ve just seen them tie a few together with some string and then just hang them outside somewhere that they’re not going to get wet.

    Whole bulb roasted garlic, spread on fresh warm bread, garlic in pickles, garlic and onions with anything. I would go through that garlic in a week. GARLIC GOOD!!!! YUMMMMMMMM :)

      It is the time of year to make fermented garlic in local raw honey!! It is an amazing tool for winter sickness. Start now so it's ready in November. I make mine in pint jars.

    Garlic looks great! I tied mine up and let it hang in our shed to dry out for a couple weeks. Then cut the dry stalks and trim the roots. Store in a mesh bag or container out of direct sunlight. I’m in MA.

    Cut a bit off the top of the bud, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil and throw them on the bbq. Spread on a toasted baguette or better still top off your steak!😍🇨🇦

    We're about ready to harvest our garlic. We also collect the "scapes" and chop and freeze them. Milder taste but adds a nice flavor to lots of dishes. Also was wondering if you had animal issues in your garden like deer or rabbits. Been fighting rabbits this year and finally had to put up a fence.

    • @alicianneboyle2443
      @alicianneboyle2443 4 месяца назад

      If they do they should urine outside there fenced area that will keep rodents and other animals away for sure on that 🙌🙌

    I grow a lot of garlic and a great way to preserve it is to put cleaned heads in a mason jar and fill it with white vinegar. If kept in the refrigerator it will last over a year.

    The only thing I do to acidify my blueberries and always get a great harvest is to save leftover coffee, water it down by 50% and water them a few times during the winter. But, I live in SEVA and we dont get as cold as you donthere, being a native Michigander, I know! Dont listen to those who say use coffee grounds. The acid washes out of the grounds when brewed which is why we use the coffee, not the grounds.

  • @ronaalexander825

    Check the soil pH of your blueberries. It should be acidic Gilroy's in Gaylord has what you need to amend the soil. If you call them they will order it if out of stock.
