And there is also a very hot wind blowing. I’m sure we have a bit of a cold front ahead of us, but for the mean time we are all enjoying (dreading?) what’s to come in the next few months.

It seems everyone in the southern hemisphere is harvesting garlic at the moment, and it shows by all the garlic blog posts I have read recently.This year is the first time I have ever grown garlic and I only planted 12 cloves in a medium size pot. I knew that when harvest time came around…
