Garlic fall 2020 (2)

Yesterday I planted the rest of the garlic I had set originally set aside—I may add to it in a day or two, we’ll see.

This time, I used a portion of the corner of the neighbour’s field kindly on loan to me where I had not previously planted garlic, i.e., the southwestern tip, as follows:

• column closest to the road
  • 12 cloves of Irkutsk at the north end
  • 14 cloves of Portugal #1 at the south end
• column one in from that
  • 13 cloves of Portugal #2 at the north end
  • 13 cloves of Metechi¹⁾I’ve never grown this type before; apparently it is similar to Persian Star only larger. Jennie likes Persian Star but the cloves always come out so small that they are far too much work, so I’ve given up on those. at the south end.
