Monday Adventure

There are spices and vegetables, that you can grow
Some are under the ground, some grow tall
They all have their qualities this you must know
But the garlic is best of them all

~The Garlic Waltz, Sally Rogers and Claudia Schmidt



It all began in the Garden Labyrinth (which I'm still a little dumbfounded by, because seriously, no)
So we are set to the task of weeding the Labyrinth, which is a thankless task. As we are nearing lunch time one of the work studies shares that some of the "weeds" she has been instructed to pull up is actually baby garlic! We still have to pull it up, but what a shame to just chuck it away. Obviously the answer is to gather it up take to to the greenhouse to rinse off and see if we can do something with it. So we spent some time cleaning it up, sorting out some of the better sized bulbs (this is not all that was originally), bunched it into bundles and hung it out to see what will happen. Who knows, I sure don't and I'm not completely sure that we went about any of this in the proper method but hey, we had fun.

So there you have it, the garlic adventure
