garlic, otto and roy

last week i could not wait any longer to harvest my garlic crop.

the leaves were starting to brown, and i think all the growing was done

 

i planted them in sections by variety, but i cant find the bit of paper where i wrote down the order. but i kept them in bunches of the same variety as i harvested them anyways.

there are nine types all together. some are really a good size and others a bit small. i did better this year than last, i made sure there were no weeds for competition and mulched the area around the garlic really well. i did forget to feed them regularly, so next year i will try that too. but i think it was a successful crop and should see us in garlic for a few months. they are now all hanging under the stairs near the front door of my house, so as soon as you walk in you are greeted with a string garlic scent.

otto's best friend roy was over the other weekend for a visit.

 

they had a great time playing and running around and biting each other. they were both worn out by the end of the visit.

 

borris had a good time with them too

 

training for treats is more difficult with 2 dogs!
