Allium sativum

Finally dried and cleaned, here is the second pile of garlic from mum's prolific garden.


If you're looking for a good website for instructions on how to do the plaiting/braiding, I looked at a couple and liked one from Bloomingfields Farm in Connecticut
.  

The finished product! Now we just have to cook a ton of dishes with garlic in. Tonight we had roasted garlic (as well as other veggies). Any recipe suggestions?

  2. Hey Robin,

    Thanks! Will definitely try these. Hope the GIS start-up is going well, and that all is happy with you two.

    I'm sitting outside on our porch in the beautiful weather, listening to the birds, wondering why I really need to travel at all. :)
