Janice pulled the garlic today, laying them to dry in the sun. The weather is on the cool side for August (under 70F today) but it seems to be a drying day. I will then braid them for further drying in the basement. They will last here, in our damp weather, until Christmas, and a bit beyond. But by March they really want to start growing again.
You can see Janice's cherry tomato plants staked against the south side of the house. This is the spot that gets the most sun and warmth. She is letting a number of veggies go to seed because we enjoy watching the birds and insects harvest things. Her leeks are looking promising and should be able to stay in the garden into the winter.
