Hello!
I was a bit busy today, organising my family’s Christmas parcel… which is now boxed and on its way!
Went and unmoulded soap with Margie and cut the loaf. The red mysteriously disappeared on the inside!! The colour showed on the outside fine. I am going to have to get to the bottom of that mystery!
Anyway, this evening I went out to water and got a bit distracted with weeding then got completely sidetracked and decided to pull up the purple garlic!
It was all looking a bit ratty and it was about time anyway.
I got some good sized bulbs, a lot of mid sized, some ‘supermarket sized’ and a few small ones.
I’ve left about 10 thin ones in the garden to see if they will bulk up a bit.
I also dug up one of the white bulbs from the duck yard garden to check on their progress and compare. It was a beauty!
I am leaving the white garlic patch in for another couple of weeks. They haven’t really died back much as yet so they will be fine for now.
From what I can see, there are a lot of good sturdy sized ones in there so hoping that harvest will be amazing
Was interesting to compare the sizes. Purple on the left are the larger of the crop. The purple on the right are what I would call average supermarket size for here.
It was late in the day so I have just spread them out in the BBQ area for now. Will get them in the sun for a short time tomorrow to dry off a bit before working out where to hang them this season.
So – what’s the weekend plan?
I am sure I can find something to do… how about you??
Cheers!
