I managed to pull twenty more heads of garlic. Most of the garlic harvested was the Spanish Roja. I will be able to harvest the sixty plus heads remaining this week.
First two heads of cauliflower
The largest strawberry so far this year, 1 oz.
A lot of the strawberry plants have slowed down in production. Hopefully the Alpines will pick up as the season moves forward!

That is a big strawberry! Was it as sweet?
ReplyDeleteLast year I got only one or two cauliflower heads. I hope this year it will be better harvest.
OMG look at all that garlic!!!!! I pulled a head over the weekend but mine are not quite ready yet :/ I just ran out too from last years harvest.
ReplyDeleteWow! Those are really good sized heads of garlic. Congrats! I think ours need a couple of more weeks in the ground.
ReplyDeleteNice harvest! I love garlic!
ReplyDeleteI think those are mighty fine cauliflowers and yes that is a monstrous and tasty looking starwberries.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness....that cauliflower looks scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteMojVrt, Yes, my husband said the strawberry was very good. I hope that you make out better then last year with your cauliflower.
ReplyDeleteAllison, I planted about 85 garlic plants. My husband is Italian and does most of the cooking...so, we use a lot of garlic. We still have about 6 heads left from last year.
Thomas, The garlic grows very well for me here.
Thanks Erin, we do too!
OG & EG, Thanks a bunch...they were very tastey!
Your garlic looks great! I have never grown cauliflower but may give it a shot in the fall.
ReplyDeleteI'm also a few weeks without lettuce. I hope the new seeds will grow fast, both for you and for me.
ReplyDeleteNice garlic, the Spanish Roja produces good sized heads, doesn't it?
Oh look at all that garlic. I loved last year. I cured the garlic in the garage and everytime I walked in the place smelled of wonderful garlic.
ReplyDeleteThat strawberry is huge! And gorgeous! Mine aren't producing well yet, but I don't expect them to until next month.
ReplyDeleteLast year my cauliflower was a bust. I tied the leaves over them for blanching, but when I checked on them they had already bolted. We got one small meal from (I think) 4 plants.
Your garlic looks great and the cauliflowers look perfect - I'm jealous!! I tried to grow 4 different cauliflower varieties last winter - the plants were big and healthy but it was too warm here for them to flower.
ReplyDeletedebiclegg, Go ahead and give it a shot. It's always fun to plant something different. I'm going to plant more this fall.
ReplyDeleteAngela, I'm glad that I'm not the only one without lettuce. This was my first year growing the Spanish Roja. The heads are a nice size. But, my misc. garlic (the garlic that I grew last year and mixed the varieties up when I cured them) is bigger.
Daphne, The garlic does smell wonderful!
Thanks Granny, I hope that the alpines start producing larger berries. I started the strawberry bed last year and I think that I planted 3 different varieties (it's a long story for another day)
It seems that cauliflower is very dependent on the weather or luck...maybe both!
That is some nice looking garlic! Your cauliflower is as big as mine, and enough for a meal or two. And I'm like you, considering our weather I was happy to get any at all. I'll try again this fall.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jane, you may not be able to grow cauliflower...but, you sure can grow a lot of other fruits and veggies that we can't grow here.
ReplyDeleteVillager, My garlic always seems to grow nicely here. I'm happy to hear that your cauliflower is the same size as mine.
Nice cauliflower and look at those garlic, yum! Spring cauliflower doesn't work for me, maybe I'll try again in the fall.
ReplyDeleteThat's a mighty nice strawberry you have there.
lovely garlic! I'm drooling.
ReplyDeleteMac, I'm going to plant the cauliflower again in the fall as well. I am hoping that it will do better then.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ribbit...wait until you see the garlic that I harvested this morning :)
