The grapes are approaching "berry touch", but until they get there, the vine photos and story-telling are kind of boring. So, without further ado, The Great Garlic Harvest of 2010. Plucked from the earth in 96 degree temps (with a "feels like" temp of 106). A lovely supply meant to keep us safe from a legion of vampires or one serious Twihard Fan. The pack of "garlic seeds" (regular-looking garlic bulbs that haven't been sprayed with growth-inhibitor like the ones on the grocery store shelf), contained two bulbs...one that we planted and one that we saved for a second planting. It's a bit too hot to consider that second planting as of yet. But in a few weeks we'll start in on the next crop.
A friend recently directed me to The Mother Vine. And so, for your enjoyment as well, the interesting tale of The Mother Vine: http://www.themothervine.com/default/history-the-mothervine/
You don't need garlic to keep my Twilight-self away! :)
