Creal, I would try some of your elder seed, but... not sure it would grow in my more northern zone.

Your photo shows the variety that produces tiny little bulbils. So, if you want to propagate, AND harvest some heads of garlic, this is what I'd do: Cut the scape stems off close to the base of the plant. Hang them to finish maturing. In your pic, you can see some of the tiny little bulbils...

If it's true garlic, the "top hats" you are seeing will open up and produce bulbils. Based on the variety, the bulbils will vary in size: One of my varieties produces about 100 tiny little apple seed sized bulbil per "top hat". An other variety produces bulbils that are up to 1/2" in...

Today is an absolutely fantastic day, with perfect weather. Thermometer has not yet made it to 80*, and there is an off/on again gentle breeze. The ducks are out, marching in tandem, back and forth across the yard, snagging japanese beetles from the lawn. It's incredible to see them work...

It's also recommended here: sow crops for fall harvest in July. If sowing for tunnel harvest during winter, greens and other fast growers need to be sowed by mid August. My garlic is a week or so away from full harvest date, so... just as soon as that bed is cleared out, I'll poke the...

Absolutely!

Watch out for those two in an other 14 years!

We went sailing with friends today. I hope to have some photos to share, later! Oh what a glorious day. Good fellowship, and an absolutely perfect day for sailing. We saw 4 seals, lots of fish jumping out of the water. At one time, I saw what I think was a whale in the distance. When we...

I'm thankful that we don't have poisonous snakes here. But, if the warming trends continue, that may change.

How many must die or be permanently injured by a treatment for a disease that has a 99.6% recovery rate for all age groups, and statistically DOES NOT affect children? https://rumble.com/viy8a1-we-want-to-be-seen-heard-and-believed.html

We went out to my Dad's camp today. Hubby did some needed repairs. You'd think I'd have gone swimming... but... i was too wiped out to even do that! Supposed to cool down this weekend, and we're going sailing with friends tomorrow. Should be cooler on the ocean. It's been too hot to keep...

Insanity at it's finest. Why is it so important? What is in that jab that they want, need everyone to get it? If the jab prevents covid, it's a non issue for the jabbed individuals whether I have the jab or not. If the jab does not prevent covid (which has been proven time and time again)...

I am thankful tonight: Thankful that MY GOD is in control, while this world seems to be spinning out of control. I am thankful that HE has placed me here, in this place, at this point in time. I am thankful that HE has given me eyes to see, and ears to hear what is going on around me. I am...

I'm paying about 30% more for chicken feed.

Creal, you're not old enough to remember that one, are you???

These ducks are for laying eggs, not for eating. I have 2 drakes in the freezer. But, they weren't packaged very well (done last fall) so, I don't know how good they will be.

Lovely pics. Sorry you lost your Dad.

No. They definitely are not invasive. I don't know if there are any wild ones growing, or not. IF some wild ones were found growing on my property, I would not be inclined to destroy them, since... surely they would be an endangered species, here in Maine! ;)

Sure it wasn't just a tree peeing on you?
