Beautiful! Isn't it?

Garlic! I harvested it today. I harvested six of my seven varieties. The Blossom just looked like it needed a little more time. But isn't it lovely?

I have grown to love the garlic. You plant it in October, so it sits under the snow, waiting. It is the first thing to pop up in the spring. It pops up with the first Dandelions of the year. Then it makes those awesome llittle scapes in June. They are curly and cool looking. They make you smile just to look at them. And they taste good in a salad too. But then in July, when the stalks start to dry, you get to dig up those first few beautiful garlic. They smell so good as you are digging and pull out so straight and long, and then comes the garlic head... nice and round and ready to go.

Now to make my Garlic Jelly and dry and clean it up for Market on Thursday!

Like William Shatner once said, "Stop and smell the Garlic! That is all you have to do."
