What variety of garlic is that?
It looks like it's an area that gets a lot of sunlight... that's great...I wish I had that much sun coming into my garden.
Good luck!

Cumberland Black Raspberries grow wild in TN berries are the size of a quarter, I went in search of some plants several weeks ago dug up 2 planted them in the yard 1 plant is looking very good tripled in size already the other plant is doing nothing. Your garlic looks good too, my garlic is going to seed never had that happen before it must be the 85 degree weather since February.

I WISH I had the space for a big garden, with rows of peppers, tomatoes, a whole patch of garlic and a whole patch of potatoes not to mention all the other great things. But then I think of the work it takes to get that whole area ready and planted (and how many seed starts you must have going in your garage in early winter) and I'm reminded that you've got a gorgeous garden because you've worked so hard for it. As for me, my little urban oasis/patch will do for now.
Well done - enjoy the fruits of your labor!

Thank you for the kind comments. You're right, it has been probably hundreds of hours of work/visits since last fall. I feel you on space, this garden is at my sister's. She lets me do what I want with the yard so I'm very lucky. I live in a small apartment with no yard!

My garden is poised to begin mass production, too. Many green tomatoes, my new peppers seeded this year are still small but some have begun to bloom, and some the overwintered fully mature peppers are pumping out harvestable fruits already, while others are setting massive numbers of fruits.
I actually have some that need to be planted still -- either in the ground or larger containers.
