The Garlic Is Up!
What a happy, happy day this is as I checked each garlic bed and every one has garlic breaking through the ground except one. The Japanese variety is 3" tall! I like that variety a lot as it kept nicely in my kitchen through January. Hurray!!!!
The beautiful days have been cool but great for getting out and working in the garden. The blueberries and Shiro plums are just about ready to burst into bloom. Hopefully the next few days of rain will help slow them down a little. It is at least 2-3 weeks early for them to be in bloom. I am trying a new variety of blueberry called "Pink Lemonade". It is a hot pink variety that produces in late July and early August. It is suppose to have a good flavor. The plant is small but maybe I will get one or two this year. It is always fun to try something new!
