We started getting the garlic area ready last Thursday with the help of Taylor and Marc who came out to help.

You may of met Taylor and Marc if you go to the Yorkmont market. They are sometimes selling pork for the Grateful Growers.

Last Thursday morning, the intended garlic planting area contained our late tomatoes, 200 feet of trellised rattlesnake pole beans, 200 feet of trellised suyo long cumumbers, and plenty of weeds.

We picked the cucumbers and beans for the last time and and took down the nylon trellis’s and the bamboo stakes holding them up, pulled up all the tomato stakes, and I tilled the area with the rotavator to incorporate the the weeds and crop residue into the top 4-5 inches.
