The day started out cold -2C but the sun was shining. The wind coming from the SSW at 11 km\/h and gusty. I quickly got out to do some Solar Astronomy, then proceeded to get into the gardening mode.<\/p>\n
The Bulbils needed to be done, but I decided that they will not be planted in 2022. We have the garlic that will be planted on Oct 22\/23 and any types that were too small, went into the\u00a0 styrofoam cup to be planted in the Bulbil bed (Garden 7), I just cannot get rid of them, they want to grow. Most are Mediterranian types that may not like the cold weather we have in Canada. So they are in a raised bed, in a cup, and already covered with straw.<\/p>\n
Types that are planted- all small bulbs (broken into the individual cloves):<\/p>\n
Chesnock Red 6<\/p>\n
Persian Star 5<\/p>\n
Phillapino 6<\/p>\n
Acropolis Greek 4<\/p>\n
Spanish Roja 6<\/p>\n
Anglio Rosso 9<\/p>\n
Chiliean Silver 7<\/p>\n
Carpathian 3<\/p>\n
Barcelona Red\u00a0 SP 8<\/p>\n
Metchi 3<\/p>\n
Tibetan 7<\/p>\n
Bubba’s Chsnock 5<\/p>\n
So 73 cloves planted.<\/p>\n
We have been growning the bulbils out of various varieties for over 10 years, and the main purpose was too see how long it took one small bulbil to produce a bulb. It ranged from 3-5 years, depending on the type. What\u00a0 we had, will be eaten and enjoyed.<\/p>\n
This project was started by the wise words of Garlic Guru Paul Pospisil from Beaver Ponds Estates. Paul is no longer with us, but his wisdom carries on.<\/p>\n
I also heard crickets, saw dandelions, white phlox, salad burnet, catmint\u00a0 and german chamomile still growing, the flowers do not want to stop either.<\/p>\n
Expecting warmer temperatures for the next few days, so its Garlic weekend<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
