Well, even if I harvested at the wrong time, I planted single cloves and harvested bulbs. So I did at least increase the amount of garlic. Dunno if I should try to save some to replant or just eat all the ones I dug up.

Mine finally wilted early this year and were so small i just replanted them with hopes of bigger and better next year.
I've read plant in fall then pick next spring-fall depending on when they wilt. I think they are from 2 years ago and never wilted last year. I don't really remember though.

Eat some plant some, then you will have more again.

Looks like from the picture you have a couple big ones. Did better than I ever did.
I planted some Chinese garlic couple of years ago. All you eat is the leaf. Strong stuff little bit goes a looong way. I've kept it mostly for the flower that comes in August.

Dr says you need exercise. Got it today. Bend down tie the string,reach above my head tie the string. 2 rows 30 plus strings each row. Thighs started burning. One paste tomato plant was dying. Think it was the one I broke Friday. Replaced that. Planted 7 jalapeno, 6 super chili. Raked spent hay from the rabbits and mulched all around those plants. Planted one row of Cobra green beans from Parks,something new. Last year I bought Kentucky wonder from the Slipshod seed company. Half Kentucky, half flat green beans. Everything else from them has always been good but I decided to try the new from Parks.
Have 2 old packs of Sieva beans. Planted one row. One pack was marked 2019 and hadn't been opened so I mixed them. Hope they grow couldn't find any new from any company this spring. Even had a guy on the garden site search for me and nothing. Started some basil finally. Planted Russian mammoth sunflowers couple places. Feed the leaves to my rabbits, let the birds have the seeds. I've raked and hoed, laid out cardboard in spots for weed barrier. The sun's going down and so am I.

We are getting the rains we needed, should have gotten, during almost a month with none. But I did water the little seeds I got out. Then, a little rain one day last week -- now couple all day rains. 
Needed! Squash & zucs should shoot up now. Had broke ground and began leafing. Eggplant, peppers and beans....maybe soon. Bought a few cheap starts 2 days ago. Will get them planted over weekend, peppers and tomatoes. Means the seed I put out will sprout now. 
. Hey, what's a few xtra???
I feel I need this garden growing, even if late producing, with all the crap going on everywhere. Will can and freeze plenty. Security. I see work slowing so should have way more at home time, soon. Looking forward to it. So much to plant and harvest!

Need to check if my peas are ready but not while it's wet.
Even though they're water proof I just don't like wet shoes.

It has been so cold and rainy here that plants aren't doing much.
Deciduous plants are still in half leafed stage....
Not enough heat.

Here's my buddy this morning patrolling the tomatoes
And the only Hollyhock that came back
Tall as I am tops not even in the picture.

Look close under the asparagus
The dark silhouette is a cottontail first time I've seen him. I can hear my Granny see son he took one and gave ya one.
