Uh oh.... my location seems to have been moved to the "warm early, much colder later" section; hope he's off by about 50 miles there!

It could be an "interesting" year for growing garlic here.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.

Ken - Why? I just started some garlic this year (~20) and have never grown it before.

Our forecast is for a very "nasty' winter, extreme cold, ice, and snow. That's not at all typical and I don't know how my garlic will do with that kind of extreme winter weather. I will mulch mine with 4-6 of oak leaves for sure and hope for the best. I know, y'all in the north who grow garlic are probably laughing at me. What's extreme for me might be considered normal or even mild for you.

I kill ornamentals... on purpose.

I hope your garlic does well. We've grown it here off an on and it does well.

More warm and dry, just what we need.

Mother Nature is often not fair or kind, Kelli.
