I did all the productive things this weekend. Including planting 230 garlic cloves. Really cutting it close this year, but I’m glad it’s done.
My future self will be proud.
ALSO: Guessing this will be my last post for #Zone6A. We were reassigned to #Zone6B for next year.
Edit: 130 to 230. I’m tired and can’t math 😭
**Editing to let you know there’s a follow-up post w/ results below.**
RE replied to post from above. It's now the future (yay!) and our garlic is nearing completion. Crazy to me how it's already almost time for harvest.
Every year I do a super subjective recap on our various varieties (5, soft and hard neck) and how they went for us here in #zone6B (formerly #zone6A.)
Planning on doing the same this year. I guess my question is-- Does anyone care? ha-ha.
OK so here’s my unscientific #garlicharvest recap: Here in the KC’ burbs #zone6B (formally #zone6A) we can grow hard neck and soft neck. Most years I’m disappointed in the softs, this year too. Can’t recommend any.
As far as hard: Music (from Baker Creek) was my least impressive. It’s our 3rd year with it. Each year I have fewer seed quality (large) heads. I’ll try again once more, but not holding my breath.
German Hardneck and Chesnok Red, both from KC Community Gardens were OUTSTANDING. Super impressed.
