Over here 20 Celsius and cloudy. I can report the garlic survived the winter and has grown bulbs, albeit not that bulky. Will give then some more time to grow-
Happy Friday GameBoomers!

TGIF good morning everyone. The heat index hits triple digits here too. Walking before sunrise is a must with our little buddy. And then yard work in the morning before is the best practice! Have a wonderful day everyone.

Good Friday morning. Looks like a steady drizzle of rain for a couple of hours and then it should be moving out.
Fogfighter, the general rule of thumb for harvesting your garlic is to dig it up when 2/3 of the upper leaves have turned brown. Then you will need to cure it by hanging it somewhere so that center stem can dry out all the way. That way it will last several months. I miss my garlic this year!
When life gives you tomatoes, make Bloody Marys.

Went to my dance class yesterday. Big mistake. Halfway through I started to feel very ill and breathless and ended up going to the Community Urgent Care. Apparently there are a few minor chest bugs going around that are wreaking havoc on asthmatics like me. The doctor started me on a short course of Prednisone. Nasty stuff. Not recommended.
I have some lawn area in my garden that's not being used for anything and I've been thinking about putting in a raised bed for things like tomatoes and garlic. In Campbell River we had a greenhouse and four raised beds and grew all sorts of nice things through the summer.
