Lucy Goodman commented on Country Girl's group 'Garlic Divas and Gurus'"You an indeed get garlic from the bubels (seeds). You let the scape go to flower and let the flower develop completely (do not cut off the plant-oh and the garlic will be tiny as all the energy went into growing flowers/seed) and you will have the…"
Ginny Hopper commented on Country Girl's group 'Garlic Divas and Gurus'"Two years ago in the spring I was given a few garlic plants and replanted them in my garden beds. I pulled the scapes off when they made an appearance and I let them over winter last winter, thus enlarging my crop for this year. I was told and…"

Country Girl commented on Country Girl's group 'Garlic Divas and Gurus'"The crops are in!!! My porch is garlicious! ;o) No vampires here...We pulled last weekend and had a glorious time of it in good dry hot weather. Unfortunately due to our distance from home to where our garlic is, there was another burst of scapes…"
Country Girl commented on Country Girl's group 'Garlic Divas and Gurus'"While I have never planted garlic in the spring, due to where we have lived, people do also plant in Spring and harvest in fall...I believe the result is just smaller sizes, as it has not gone through the dormancy period, and hasn't had…"
Lucy Goodman commented on Country Girl's group 'Garlic Divas and Gurus'"Christene, harvest you garlic in the fall-it will be smaller than over wintered garlic but usable"

In Defense of Summer Magic...
Summer vacation is upon us here in Southwest Virginia. Kids home 24/7...need I say
more? The house is alive and wild, noisy and happy, bubbles being blown on the
front porch and squirt guns squirting through screen windows...literally as I
typed this my daughter just turned on the stereo and it was playing, "School's
