Garage


This is the closest thing I have to a photo of the garden. It is about 1/3 of the whole thing. The tomato patch and the vine plants area are about the same size as this plot.



Bob - Yes, our hauler is a golf cart that I converted to a pickup truck. VERY handy!


Bryan - The tops of onions are edible when they are young. By the time they are full grown they are tough and bitter. I've never tried to eat garlic tops. They do send up flower heads called "scapes" that are tasty. (I'll try to find a picture) Lay a bed of them on the grill, put a steak on top, and grill it. Delicious!
The onions and garlic in the photos are about to be spread out on the garage floor so the dirt on them will dry and can be brushed off. Then the tops and roots are cut off and they are put on drying racks for two weeks, then stored in our spare fridge. They are still usable 9 months to a year later.
