Lately have been feeling Very Pleased (ie, jealous as hell) when I read about Other Bloggers harvesting their bumper crop of garlic. I
love home grown garlic and this year put in three huge patches, but, as with so many other things in this garden, it has not worked out as planned, and here is the sum total of my garlic harvest for 2010...
sigh.
After planting over 100 onion seedlings (most of which I bought) I've also ended up with about half a dozen golf-ball sized onions - I did lose a lot to the
wretched escapologists chickens - but even so, its just not been my year for alliums this year.
But in cheerier news, followed
Greenfumb's example and picked the largest and most alluring of my tomatoes and they're now ripening on the kitchen windowsill.
Did I mention to anyone before that I'm slightly allergic to raw tomatoes? Um yes (now do you see why I feel so strongly about The Universe Hating ME???). But I still love growing them, and eating them when they've had the crap cooked out of them. So, YUMS.
:)
