I've been thinking about this amazing pattern for days....

hiii do you have any tips for home gardeners who want to grow garlic? :^) hope you're having a nice day!

Choose between hardneck and softneck (you can do elephant but its a leek family member and idk anything about it) Hardneck gives you scapes and is more cold hardy (requires cold temps tbh). Softneck does better if it gets hot where you are (i am in THE desert.) and stores a lot better (this is braiding garlic) but has no scapes and the flavor is milder than hardneck.

you dont have to do beds bc garlic is a set it and forget it type crop. but they look pretty and professional.

last year we planted in mid November and did 12 inch apart rows of 6 inch spacing between bulbs and got great results (broke all records in terms of yield and size and germination rates in the 10 years the farms been operating) but we have also spent ten years selectively getting bigger and bigger seed garlic

when you buy seed garlic im not sure how it comes but honestly you could probably get some from a farmers market and do well with it and if you are taking from a head of (softneck, idk hardneck) garlic, break off the top part of the stem, peel back the outer layers of the paper, and split the cloves apart carefully as to not rip or remove any paper on the cloves themselves. They should go into the ground with their jackets on, we’re not building a nudist colony, they’ll rot in the ground if they go in naked. Feel free to take photos and notes of damaged ones if you decide to plant them & you can see what the germination rates are like. Do not plant ones with any rot, dead spots, mold, or squish. Plant with the pointed stem side up and the flat root side down. I find it easiest to lay them out in a line and then go through with either a piece of rebar or an asparagus weeder to make a hole and drop them in. There should be 2 inches of soil on top of each clove.

They do better if they get a kind of snowy, wet winter, aka lots of water in the spring when they start really germinating

you should plant before the first real frost date but we got away with planting in mid November last year

we have shit desert soil so what we do is plant, spread a layer of compost, spread a (thin) layer of leaves, and then spread a thicker layer of straw overtop of that. What you do should vary depending on your soil composition

when harvesting your garlic in the early-mid summer (bottom two leaves should be dead/dying, pull a garlic if youre not sure and check how far along it is, note that you cant replant it) cure it, and separate out the garlic with the most cloves and biggest cloves to plant next year. The smaller the clove you plant the smaller your bulb will be

fertilize with a nitrogen rich fertilizer in the early spring before the bulbs start to get big. Do not fertilize close to harvest time. they say you can plant softneck in the spring and harvest in the fall but every time i hear ppl talking about having done that they claim their harvest was kinda shit compared to fall planting. You cannot plant hardneck in the spring they need the cold.

good luck

Seen a couple posts on the dashboard lately about writing with ADHD. So, for the ADHD and neurodivergent folks who like writing but struggle sometimes… check out StimuWrite.

You can set it to make little sounds as you type (or leave them off), and emojis pop up in the corner. You can change the background, dark and light themes, set your word goal, and it gives you a percentage and total word count at the bottom. Though it’s more meant for getting a draft written up, so it doesn’t have spell check or anything like that. You’re meant to just copy and past what you write here into Google Docs or Word or Scrivener or whatever else you use and go from there. Honestly love it when I’m struggling to get words down, though. And apparently there’s an update now for StimuWrite 2?👀

Anyways, give it a try if it looks like it may help. It’s currently name-your-own-price.

K so not to be dramatic or anything, but there's a free vintage French pattern book available on antiquepatternlibrary so if you like to crochet/weave/make pixel art/tie epic friendship bracelets don't walk- RUN.

It has scenes from aesop's fables! Cherubs doing things! Beheadings! Greek muses! Little farm people! Intricate floral pattern! Goth stained-glass window like patterns! Fun little corner pieces! Eeeeeeeeeeeeee
