We just harvested 34 bulbs of garlic! This garlic was all planted from bulbs that we saved from last years crop! We planted them back in October of 2011. It was beautiful weather here in western Washington the last two weeks, so they have over 10 days of no water. We are growing elephant garlic and a few hardneck varieties. Ron quickly got them into the garage before a random summer thunderstorm and down pour came over the backyard. We will let them dry for a few days in the garage and then brush off the dirt and braid them into two braids. One to start eating and one to save. It would keep past November, but we always run out before then!
We also harvested a TON of lavender. I will be making new organic fabric lavender sleeping eye masks soon and will have some for sale in my ETSY store. It smells so fragrant when first picked, I can still smell it on my fingers. My house it going to smell so good as it dries the next few weeks.
