This is a journal of my vegetable gardens. Skippy was my first dog and he thought the garden was his, even though I did all the work. Now Suzie and Charley follow in his footsteps. We're located near Boston (USDA zone 6A). I have a community plot, a backyard vegetable garden, fruit trees, berry bushes, chickens, and bees. I use sustainable organic methods and do my best to grow all of my family's vegetables myself.
peas planted!

visiting my parents garden
My parents gardens is especially beautiful this year. I am envious of their garlic. It is beginning to form scapes. The plants are big and deep green - no yellow leaves yet. My garlic has suffered from my under-watering and, though it is also beginning to scape, has yellowing leaves already. A friend has a recipe for garlic scape pickles that I look forward to trying soon.
May garlic is also beginning to scape and has yellowing leaves. I thought I was watering well. We did have very dry weather.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure it's really the dryness that's caused my garlic to get yellow leaves. I've been pulling them when the only have 4-5 green leaves left and the ones I'm pulling are all rotted. I think maybe I didn't rotate property. May have grown garlic or onions in the bed recently and it's built up some rotting disease. I have about 25 nice plants left from the 60 or so I planted.
