When starting garlic from the bulbils, do you just leave them in ground for another year, or do you pull them and replant in the fall/winter?

I pull them when they are ready, then plant them the next spring.

As my wife and I age we've realized that small batch canning and preserving, smoking ( salmon, fruits n veggies) is worth it. Back in the day it was always not worth doing unless we have 100lbs mentality is long gone. Best Regards

Maraschino cherries( Think Manhattans), Scape salt n Butter.

I pitted 10 lbs of cherries last night. What a mess lol.

Mine will probably end up in a hot sauce

You can keep harvesting until March or so. If you leave a couple they will grow an attractive flower that will give you enough seeds for several municipalities. Plus they could sprout an edible side plant or two.

Tomatoes, celery, beans and tomatillos doing really well.

Peppers are doing ok. Better than last year, not as good as 2 years ago. Gonna fertilize the crap out of them and hope for the best

My peppers are behind from last year. The plants look healthy but just a couple starting to flower now.

Everything is doing well in the jungle, but we're into a hot spell which can impact fruit set in tomatoes sometimes.
Cabbage moth worms seem a bit worse this year. I got a dozen adults in my trout net today, but they keep coming.

My garden is easily two weeks ahead of last year for most stuff.

Better June this year

Mine are still a bit smaller than I’d like, so I have been pinching the buds. I wish I had enough space for a greenhouse so I could re-pot them and let them get bigger in the weeks preceding putting them in the garden beds

Oregano Harvest Day.

This plant is a direct descendant of one smuggled into Canada from Sicily by my Buddy's Auntie a couple decades ago. It is by far the most spicy & potent I have ever come across. To put it's size into perspective, that is my garlic bed behind it.

This one is a Hot Greek variety. Not as spicy as the Sicilian one, but a decent second.

And off to the drying racks.

Cheers

Ok I think I planted to many seeds in the Dill planter. Lol Maybe I can trim it like a hedge.

 

[wildmanyeah]

Nice looking dill

What dill variety is that. Mine is too tall and goes to seed quickly

They were finally ready, so went to work in the early before it became over 90 degrees.

Decent crop again this year:

Hung where they are in shade, but I can open the door behind them to allow for great air flow:

Joined by a couple bags of curing oregano:

Sure makes that part of the yard appear empty when they are gone...

Cheers

Tip: Don't plant those innocent little zucchini seeds near anything else you want to grow.

It's called Dill Aneth by Mr. Fothergill's.

First Oregano Harvest now processed.

That;s just the Sicilian variety - the Greek went to a buddy.

Next harvest coming along nicely.

Cheers
