Garlic

We are still going to garden. http://herbdiaryseattle.blogspot.com/2013/01/new-weed-lot.html#!/2013/01/new-weed-lot.html We will not get much sun in our back or side yards. But we're still going to put things in the ground.

Anita cleared out a bed below the grafitti and lined it with large stones. She layed cardboard down on the little growth that is there.

I cleared out a bed by the side of the house that has pretty good soil already. Just not much light. But I stuck some garlic bulbs in there. The best time for planting garlic is in the fall (the babies I planted at Doppelganger are doing alright) but you can also plant in the spring. It might be early still but it's all for the sake of experiment. These cloves needed to be dealt with. Some of them have been planted with compost, some not. I'm wondering about putting mulch down since it's late February. http://www.garlicfarm.ca/growing-garlic.htm

Well, another garden from scratch! Oh well. Here is an easy article on "Starting A Garden".
