Some type called "music" I bought at the farmers market last year. The cloves were two or three times the size of typical store bought ones. I bought some other type at the farmers market too, but I have since forgotten as I did not write it down. I think I can find out though at the farmers market this fall.
Happy gardening, Hunter! Ron and I came home to our two raised beds brimming with kale, chard, spinach, and lettuces. The zucchini plants should start bearing fruit any day. They are a round variety and I love them when they are less than 3 inches in diameter. After that, the skin starts to get dense and tough and the flesh is no longer sweet.
We toured the Carrie Furnaces (steel plants) in Pittsburgh a few years ago. It is truly astounding to witness the sheer scale of nuts and bolts let alone gears, furnaces, and towers!
Great and interesting post. A pat on the back for helping at the church. The power plant and pictures gave me a flashback to rewiring an asphalt plant back in PA in January. The daytime temp the whole month was 15° We had to turn on electric heaters to un-gell the fuel so we could light our tube heaters. We built 9? stories of scaffold to get up and down. Good tip. For winter work, get THIN leather gloves that you don't have to take off and can manipulate things like wire nuts, hand tools, etc., and your hands stay warm.

Lovely controlled chaos : ) This is the first year I'm not gardening in 26 years. Random self seeding flowers is all. Got 26 years of 'stuff' to get rid of. Slow goin' but getting it done : )
Love the garden pics! Going off media is a good thing, thanks for reminding me.
Thanks! Glad you like them.
Coming back to the "news", same s***, different day.
👍🌿♥️
Very interesting post. The garden looks great. I love the out of focus pic, but then I would.
Glad to see your garden photos. As for the garlic, are you growing the standard variety or some exotic ones?

Getting rid of "stuff" can be cathartic too. Best of luck!
Our garlic will be ready soon. First time tried. Swiss Chard from last year also thriving.
Ready already? I will harvest the scapes soon, but the bulbs not until sept or even october.
We planted early in West London UK. Sayscharvest mid June Summer Solstice.
