What did you do in your garden today?

[flowerbug]

@flowerbug we are in for real heat tomorrow. Heat index 99,so it will be Michigan hot hot hot!.
I am not going to eat those pods. I would love to be able to grow the ones of the can, but I keep my cans,lol

My tastebuds are unique,lol I don't like a lot of things. I do not eat fish except when I go home or Florida and am a sucker for red snappers. Love seafood but no clams except scallops. No crawfish, but real shrimp and lobster. No Atlantic sea crab or fake crab meat. I like the land crabs from home.

A few years back, tried tomatoes and except and almost puke my stomach out,lol
Yeap, I am that weird!

that's too bad about tomatoes because i really love them and wish we could grow many more varieties than we do but Mom is picky. yes, i'm ready to be roasted tomorrow. i hope i can get outside early enough to get something done before it gets too hot out there.

IDK... Was here when we bought the place. All I know it it's stuff neck and has a purple ball top, grows about 5' tall and had 7 large cloves. Other that I know nothing more about growing garlic. Any info would be most appreciated.

elephant garlic can come in hard or soft neck so i can't tell from your picture if that is just a really big bulb of a hardneck garlic or if it is hardneck elephant garlic.

or perhaps it is an ornamental allium variety some of which are slightly toxic but can be edible? i don't know without seeing pictures of the flowering top.

the description of it having small bulbs attached to the roots leads me to think it is an ornamental.


for hardneck garlic these are my own notes of the variety i grow:

Garlic | Anthive

A hard neck garlic...

Here you go a picture of the whole plant. I don't think it's toxic we've been eating last year's harvest. Any info would be helpful... It would be nice to identify the variety. Thanks

I weeded the row of eggplant this morning and raked/picked up a 5 gal bucket of till up grasses all over the area.. Dumped into composting heap. Big trailer has tractor on it.....going to shop $$$ I'm sure...so not gone after straw. DS says just go get one in truck. DS not paying for gas!

brr! i'd be freezing! we turn the AC down in the morning for a bit to get the humidity out of the house and then turn it back up again. normally keep it at 75 or 77. i'd be ok with keeping it even warmer but Mom is not ok with that so...

still suspecting an ornamental. big, tall plant with purple top is likely an ornamental. i want to see the color of the flowering top. next time, when you dig one up, if it has any bulbs growing get a close up picture of that. how the plant forms new bulbs is different among the alliums and some of the decorative ones will make new bulbs right off the little roots so it looks like a string of pearls (they all smell like onions).

Told my wife looking out the window. Looks like unless we get some rain, you won't need to mow the lawn this weekend. She said why? I said look out the window. She oh my the grass is turning brown. We've had a little over an inch of rain this month. I don't like to see corn looking like pineapple plants either.

Ground cracked, corn needs water, we need rain
