It PLANTING time! Actually we are late! Normally in zone 6 you should be good until first week of November so…. You still have time!

1) Prepare soil. Full sun! Purchase quality seed. We have been sold out for a while!

2) Split your bulbs apart into individual cloves. Plan to plant the larger cloves! Larger cloves grow larger bulbs. Try to do this no more than a few days before planting.

3) Sanitize for 10 minutes. Rubbing alcohol or vodka are two good options. Helps to rid any mites/etc. that could be lurking. Don’t worry if paper/skin comes off cloves. It doesn’t matter. Strain well.

4) Soak in a fertilizer soak for at least an hour but we try to do overnight. Using fish emulsion fertilzer is common.

5) Plant! Root side down/pointy end up. about 2-3 inches deep. 4-6 inches apart

6) Good layer of mulch! Maybe 3-6 inches of straw

We are behind the eight ball! Will be catching up in next week!. ‘’‘Tis the season”

ORGANIC GARLIC SCAPES AVAILABLE ONLY FOR THE NEXT WEEK OR SO!

Garlic scapes are the stalks that grow hardneck garlic plants. Growers remove them in order to direct all the plant's energy toward the bulb's growth.

Raw garlic scapes are crunchy like green beans or asparagus, but you can eat scapes raw or cooked, whole or chopped. They are considered a delicacy.

The easiest way to think about cooking with garlic scapes is to use them the way you would use garlic or scallions, although there's hardly a wrong way to enjoy these tasty tendrils.

Mince into egg dishes, awesome in soups, stews, chili, make garlicky pesto, add to your stir-fry, salads, mix into vinaigrette, add to your pizza, simply grill or pickle, add to your roasted vegetables.... endless options! You can also freeze them so they will last you all year long.

If anyone is trying to find us the event post picked up a wrong address for the church hall we are in. You want to come to Maeystown IL. We are in the church hall at the top of the hill. It’s a small town. Can’t miss us
