And once I learned to stop watering at a certain point, it actually worked! This year, we're trying sweet potatoes for our new vegetable. I love growing garlic.

I looked for your book at Barnes and Nobles yesterday but they were out. I'll find is soon I'm sure. I want to ask a personal question and I know you may not be able to answer it. I am divorced too and I've just been curious as to how you have been able to do all that you do financially? I'm not setting to bad but still I would love to do what you are doing enjoy life by being able to do more at home and not work away from home so much of the time. Thank you for the enjoyment I get from your blog each day. Rita Suzanne,

Am passionate about garlic - haven't met a vampire yet - but don't have a garden. Wish I lived near you so that I could run up the road and beg you to share. I would promise to bring you something chocolate in return! That 52 is a keeper - how could you not love a man who would give you such a beautiful gift?! Love reading you every day!

It makes very large cloves and runs out a thin root that makes a toe shape at the end. These are called elephant toes. When you pull the main garlic stalk up to harvest, the toes break off and remain in the ground to come up the following year. I used to pull up garlic, let it dry in the sun on a screen wire, then put the cloves in panty hose and hang them in the utility room till needed. Well, it was actually knee high stockings. They are great for storing onions also. Never throw them away, they have a million uses on a farm !I wish you much luck with your gardening. We tried asparagus, but it did not grow well here. It took several years to get a start from the roots and I think then you are not supposed to cut it for 2 years. Hard to wait that long and then it did not produce many shoots at a tine.Took 2 weeks to get a small handfull ! lol I wanted to can some in pint jars and could not get enough to make it worth heating up the pressure canner.I have noticed that almost noone raises it around here. I think I know why now. We have grown elephant garlic for years. It makes very large cloves and runs out a thin root that makes a toe shape at the end. These are called elephant toes.
