2025 crop behind the rolling average, but making its way during a cool, dry spring:

Trimmed some of the driest of the garlic today. Definitely was a little late getting to harvest a good percentage of these with the split wrappers. Smells divine out around the picnic table.

Re: Northern Hemisphere Garlic Ranchers/2025 Crop
The rains from the past two days have perked mine right up. There are still holes in the planting though, like cloves that were pulled or simply didn’t survive. But I have a few!

Re: Northern Hemisphere Garlic Ranchers/2025 Crop
Slow but steady growing here. Not sure how far ahead of average, but I believe I'm usually well behind Wisconsin, so I had to go out in the rain and get pics today, just to show I'm pretty close to you guys! Still have mulch and wire on, plants are looking green no frostburns or the like, and they're all there, maybe one missing out of all the lot.. Apologies for raindrop splotches.

IDK, Gotch. Could be vole, squirrel or even a bird.
Not a big pile of digging to show, so whatever it is, goes right down to what you planted here with a bit of bone meal scent perhaps? Then flung the disgusting clove, afar from the site.
I believe the mulch tearup here is due to wind and weather rather than animals this time.
Wire keeps the leaves from um leaving entirely.
That second bed was mulched with whole cut agrimony plant still green of leaf. Works a little better.

Re: Northern Hemisphere Garlic Ranchers/2025 Crop
Ill take pics tomorrow I hope. I have them covered to keep out the flies but I think it may have pulled up when we had those terrible winds last week.
