woaaagh i really lost a full week there. i couldn't even knit half the time and that's how i know it's a Bad One.
yesterday i finally felt okay enough to plant my garlic. the early snow is mostly melted and it's been warm. i wanted to do half hardneck and half softneck but never could find anyone selling hardneck garlic so it's all Nootka Rose again. though almost none of mine colored up the way they're supposed to. it remains to be seen if 36 Garlics is enough garlics for the rest of the winter and spring.
thinking about that squirrel that bit into a head of garlic i had curing on the deck this fall, suddenly stopped, and then began wiping its tongue on the wood. i lost one clove of garlic but made that squirrel a little wiser.
