Don't Forget To Protect Your Garlic Before The Ground Freezes!

This spring, I will be adding another element to my blog.  I will be showing you how to grow a garden.  I have over 35 raised beds on our half-acre lot, that feeds us all year long.

I will also be teaching you how to prune fruit trees and vines.  Also how to raise healthy, grass-fed chickens.

Typically, you plant garlic in October.  It gets really cold here in the Pacific Northwest, especially when you're growing in raised beds.  So make sure the beds are covered with a good amount of straw, then cover with a frost fabric.  This will help stop the soil from freezing, and also keep the straw from blowing off!

Bon Appetit!
