Progress on the organic vegetable garden and other ramblings of a gaijin in Japan's least populous prefecture.

I don't envy the cleaning though. Any luck with the garlic Tyra? A fair amount of the stuff I planted sprouted after two weeks. Some terracotta pots would like nice in the garden.

Now I'm in a hurry, soon I'll have frost and snow. I've been buzy cleaning +200 pots today and that was really hard work. I promissed myself that I'll never again will plant that many plants ...still, the same procedure as last year! Scary with the snake. Garlic…..auhhhg I forgot to plant my garlic!

Meg, these are for growing. The main variety is New White 6 piece. I have little idea about it, but should be getting a sixfold increase... I would be happier planting garlic with a green tinge - it gets pretty cold and damp around this time of year. If they hang around too long, there's a chance they might rot. Hopefully start to see them emerge in a couple of weeks. It was my fingers that ponged.

When I was weeding the veg beds I found a sprouting head of garlic which had been left in the ground and forgotten - so it's been neatly split into cloves with nice green shoots and healthy roots and they make a nice little row. Must get some more. Can’t wait to see next year’s garlic harvest!!!

So am I getting this right? You are planting these to grow them, or will they just "keep" better over the winter in the ground? This sounds like a stupid question, but being a city slicker...I'm trying to figure this all out. Beautiful garlic, again! So am I getting this right?
