* Garden Harvest *





















Back in the fall when I planted my seed garlic , I also planted some garlic cloves that I had bought at the grocery store. I harvested my store bought garlic a few weeks ago , the stems turned completely brown , so I dug them up and let them dry out. I cleaned the garlic up Saturday morning , they're small but they look good. As you can see some have separated cloves , some have tight cloves and some are just 1 big clove.

The seed garlic is ready to dig now , the heatwave we've had has caused the stems to die back sooner than I thought they would . I couldn't resist digging some up , to see how well it did ~ they're big and sooo .. beautiful. I plan to harvest the ~ Garlic ~ tomorrow.

~ 100 Ft Diet Challenge ~

I starting a new blog of my weekly homegrown meals. So , if you're interested in the challenge , check it out.


I guess every garden has it disappointments. My youngest daughter bought the broccoli plants this year , she got an early harvest type and some regular plants. I am disappointed with the early producing type , they didn't head. These are the flowerettes I harvested from about eight plants , altogether it might make 1 nice head. Tonight I will make chicken & broccoli ~ Yum , everything will taste so fresh.
~ Hope You're Blessed with a Bountiful Harvest ~
