Gardening pics, hacks, successes, and or failures

Garlic did pretty well. Has some rust or some kind of fungal disease that may have hampered growth a bit, bit there are 75 bulbs there so we’ll have plenty.

Mine is bit smaller this year, think the tree overhead is shading more.

We had some jumbos this year. I thought they looked close to rotting despite killing the water a month ago. This stem broke off.

My wife has informed me that she pulled the rest of HER garlic, and they're mostly about this size. Great success! Nothing to do with me shoveling a yard of new soil into that bed last fall.

Since when does the guy digging the dirt get any credit?

And the guy that installed the irrigation, I MIGHT ADD!

First Blackberry harvest here.
They did VERY well.
Here's a shot of the end of the blackberry hedge that runs the length of our back yard on one side.
This is after I picked!

A nice couple of gallons of goodness!

Cheers

They went onto two of the magnum sized cookie sheets for freezing:

And then I found out the XL sized Ziplocks hold just shy of 12 pounds of Blackberries.

Cheers

It appears garlic growing was good for everyone this year. My Russian red and purple were bigger this year.

Picked the same run yesterday - they are ripening so fast I cannot keep up and loads more on the way! Going to have to invite all my Buddies to come and get in on it.

Pretty much the same as before - around 12 pounds or so.

Cheers

That’s awesome Nog! I didn’t get that much on this morning’s pick but we have a good variety for breakfast!

Lots of options to be paired with salmon tonight

12 pounds of Blueberries!

My tomatoes are doing great this year. This is the sun dipper plant and it probably has 400+ tomatoes. The tomatoes are about double the size of cherry tomatoes but look like mini Romano tomatoes.

Going fishing in Ukee Monday to Saturday, so will have to hope without asking some of these get processed while I'm gone. She also has a birthday coming up. Ukee Co-op has my back for gifts, right?

25 lbs more before I headed for the ferry.

Damn, nice haul. My plants are loaded with green tomatoes. Waiting patiently for a color change.

Earliest beefsteaks we’ve had. Couple monsters over 1lb in there (biggest was 700g)
