That's alot of garlic! Do you sell at a Farmers Market? I planted 11 different varieties. The one that is new to us is Music and I could only find one to plant and it only had four gloves to plant. I heard it keeps well and is suppose to be delicious. We may have to eat one and replant the others next November if they are as good as I've heard.

I will remove the mulch next week sometime. You can see by first ring that I did dig around a bit. My Wisc. book says that the first week of April I should foliar feed with a combo of fish emulsion and powdered seaweed every two to three weeks until mid June. That combo and feeding schedule is nothing like I did last year. Seems like alot. What do you think?
