I just had no idea about harvesting it and braiding it (and how difficult the task could be). This makes me want to learn more and grow it. I think your braids look great!

I figure I had never tasted garlic until I tasted the local, organic, homegrown variety. We are very happy with our first crop.Gregg Koephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349453216733070775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-12620571318548107552017-09-15T23:22:35.950-03:002017-09-15T23:22:35.950-03:00Clara,

There is supposed to be a symbol on the package, but I have never seen one, even though I have read that most all spices have been irradiated. <br /><br />Good luck with your gardening this year. Linda and I often say that our home grown veggies are better than candy. We are winding our garden down, and you are just getting going. What a planet we have!Gregg Koephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349453216733070775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-60193203852235787982017-09-15T23:19:46.064-03:002017-09-15T23:19:46.064-03:00Deva,

Rather than go to work doing something I don't enjoy, to make money, to buy food, I would rather just spend my time growing my own food. That is something I can get into. And the results! Food that tastes as good as it can get, and a little "garden therapy" never hurt anyone.Gregg Koephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349453216733070775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-26268088768250328162017-09-14T01:18:37.104-03:002017-09-14T01:18:37.104-03:00Your photos brought back wonderful memories from a...Your photos brought back wonderful memories from a few years ago when I was the lucky recipient of two bulbs of homegrown garlic. They smelled like they had been smoked but it was just their fresh natural aroma. It was the best garlic I have ever had!<br />JenniferJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13230153935301608102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-51886995042426656072017-09-12T23:25:52.342-03:002017-09-12T23:25:52.342-03:00What a beautiful crop!

And my sugar snap peas are tasting like lollies.

Not only does it look beautiful (especially braided!), but the taste is as good as the smell of freshly laundered sheets hung on the line outside to dry. Enjoy the fruits of your labor.
