The Garlic Bed
You know I love gardening just as much as I love creating works of art, if I had to pick one or the other, I'm not sure which one I'd pick. I've noticed on other artist's blogs, they too enjoy gardening. Most artists do have a connection with nature and if you look at the old world Masters, many of them had a deep affection for nature and painting outdoors. Well, I too have a deep affection for nature and up until recently, I've enjoyed flowers and tending to the flower beds the best..........that is until I discoverd the joy of growing GARLIC!
Here are the top 5 reasons I love growing garlic:
#5 It's insect and animal resistant (unless you have an Italian squirrel roaming your garden)
#4 It is so rewarding to plant something in October when you have pulled everything out of the garden.
#3 You get quite the yield....we planted cloves from 10 heads of garlic and got 110 heads!WOW!
#2 It nice to see something growing in the garden all winter and especially in March.
#1 It's good!!!! Fresh garlic is the absolute best roasted and spread on Tuscan bread!
Yesterday Gary and I picked the garlic.........

Yum, I am a garlic lover! I put it in the pico de gallo I made tonight, but our garlic was no way near the size of your "king" garlic heads-WOW! Enjoy!
Hey, garlic girl! Those are whopping big bulbs and I can almost smell them!! Divine! I get almost panicked if I run out of fresh garlic in my kitchen!
What a great harvest! How do you store it, in panty hose? I have never grown it, but I should. It's really good for you too.
I couldn't help but notice your 'neat as a pin' raised gardens. They look so pretty!
Nice to see you and Gary too!
