Harvests continue!

Hardneck garlic
 Harvests continue in our fields and in our home garden

We brought in all our garlic and it is now hanging in the barn, curing.  The soft-neck (smaller) garlic came in last week and the hard-neck this week.  The curing gives the stalks a chance to dry off, thereby increasing the storage time of the garlic.




















In our home garden, many delicious things are ready to harvest.  Our community dinner this week featured corn, raised by Justin, potatoes and beans brought along by many, and a beautiful salad with nasturtium flowers.
