I Love Garlic

July First.....Frost!

Garlic Scapes

Soil Blocks

We make soil block to sow seeds into for transplanting out in the field at a later date. No plastic containers to deal with! Here is a video I made earlier this spring.

Dog Holler Garlic

Beds of Garlic on the Hoytsville property.

Green Manure

Tilling in a cover crop of rye, peas and vetch to add nitrogen and organic matter to the soil. The organic matter creates food resources for the soil's micro flora and fauna, in return creating humus in the soil. We build soil in order to produce nutrient dense foods.

L'il Helper

The moon was in the watery constellation of the Fishes yesterday...good time to sow leaf crops. Thanks, Violet, for being a great little helper!

Awake

After a winter of sleep, the garlic is awake.
