Healthy food in the potager
AUK, did U know that...
Amusing Unnecessery Knowledge:
" Much of the garlic production in the United States is centered on Gilroy, California, which calls itself the 'garlic capital of the world'." I like that, garlic capital of the world.
China produces over 12.000.000 tonnes of garlic, US 222 thousand tonnes and Sweden...well we are not even on the list. I can contribute with 1 kilo or so :-)
This year I planted the garlic together with some houseleeks Sempervivum, just a crazy idea I got, I wonder how this bed will look next summer.
Happy gardening/ TYRA

Hello Tyra, I know nothing about growing garlic, even though I live in California (drove through stinky Gilroy six months ago). But last week, I was reading a book that discussed growing garlic and I decided that next year I'd try to grow some. Yours looks so appetizing that now I'm convinced I must do it!
Hi There Tyra! I love your photography! You tell such a wonderful story with your collages. So lovely!!! I think it a great idea to plant garlic that way. I love your garlic boss too. I still have to get out and plant mine! Enjoy! Carol
Sempervivum and garlic: Hmmmm, now those are strange bedfellows. Interesting idea. Hope we get to see them come next summer :)
Garlic! Nature's natural antibiotic..I am eating lots to promote healing!!
We do love garlic here! I mean really love garlic as when you open the fridge and smell the garlic from my leftover meal!! Your dirt is so lovely there, I envy you!!! I am going to be raking a lot of leaves this week and putting all of them into my compost bins. Your photos are always so lovely.
Have a wonderful day!

Hi Tyra, garlic is something I rarely use. My Mom was Irish and never cooked with it so I didn't learn to use it either.
Planted a bulb in my garden a couple years ago just to see it growing. Never harvested it and enjoy the blooms each year.

Hi Tyra,
Its good to discover your blog'...very adorable pictures.
Garlic is my favourite spice, I can't think of cooking anything without it:)
Mmmm I love to roast a bulb with olive oil. Then I blend up the cloves with more olive oil. I add this garlic paste to Everything!
Love the idea of hen and chicks (Sempervivum) with garlic! Too cute!
