It seems that the more we plant, the more we eat. :)<br /><br />@kitsapFG: I grew Music for the first time this year as well. Our local extension office indicated that state trials for this variety showed a lot of promise. In my garden, it turned out to be the best producer of the three varieties I planted this year. Very tasty as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-25542967741624994812010-11-19T12:51:57.299-05:002010-11-19T12:51:57.299-05:00that is darn beautiful soil you have there, Dan. ...that is darn beautiful soil you have there, Dan.

Funny thing is I used garlic from supermarket and organic food shops, none of organic garlic succeeded growing. I don't know why.

Good luck with your garlic too :)Lifestyle Lift Journeyhttp://lifestyleliftjourney.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-1878329472889206582010-11-12T14:27:05.566-05:002010-11-12T14:27:05.566-05:00I'm so jealous!
