Garlic harvest.
-
Garlic harvest. Only half of it because all the drying racks are full, even the Volkswagen one.
Yes, the garden is weedy as fuck. That doesn't matter and may even be beneficial. I strimmed the weeds down to the level of the garlic leaves so I could see it and went digging.
This is winter garlic, planted in October. Voles dug tunnels under the snow and mulch all over this bed but didn't touch a single garlic bulb.
Need to build more drying racks before I can get the rest out. And next year plant less of it
Found me some sawmill junk and with a bit of tablesaw work and a few screws turned it into two more frames for drying racks.
Then some fence maples got a draft letter and before long were chopped up and nailed to the frame on one end. Green maple doesn't split when nailing, unlike dry sticks. And they do grow fast and furious here.
Can dig more garlic now.

@Maker_of_Things Ah well, I do not have the train bug. I would like some donkeys though

Airfried garlic so soft you can smear it on bread. Nom.

Fresh garlic too. Depends on how hard the bread is. -

@yngmar Neat! You will probably like this podcast, then, it's really interesting: https://ap.podcastindex.org/episodes?id=157191&statusid=8d46507a-42c0-4027-a490-b749ce7b6983&resource=public

@jwcph I hate podcasts.

@yngmar So do I - but this one is different. Alex did a video when he worked for Cracked called "Everything boring is awesome" (no longer available, sadly) & then ran with the idea when he was fired & it's brilliant.
If you want to know the dude's style, you can watch some of his "Hilarious Helmet History" videos, which are still live on the Youtubes.
Or, alternatively, ignore everything I said.
