After clearing the beds a few weeks ago, I bought a yard of compost and turned it in. Today, I finally started planting the garlic. Wow, 5 pounds is a lot of seed garlic! I planted 237 cloves... and that's probably only about 2/3 of the amount we have. I'll need to turn in the compost on the old potato beds (in the top picture, the ones still covered with straw and compost) to have more room for the rest. Then on to starting a bunch more rows for next year's spring/summer crops...
If we don't start selling produce in the spring - everyone can look forward to getting garlic wreaths and braids for Christmas next year!
