Warmer than usual temp. this Spring had us uncovering our garlic patch here in Mid-Coast Maine approx. 2-3 weeks earlier than usual.
A Heavy Mulch Of Straw And Leaves
It seems like it was only last month when we planted our garlic cloves and shared with you our planting techniques this past November.
Carefully Uncovering The Patch
We remove the mulch bedding with care. Tender growth can easily “snap off “.
Tender Growth
A layer of straw if left on the ground to control weeds.
Leaving A Bedding Of Straw
One week later with warm temps. and lots of sun our garlic has greened up.
1 Week Later
Recently my Wife and I had the pleasure of staying at Cedarholm Garden Bay Inn in Camden Maine.
The experience was truly enjoyable, beautiful gardens, well appointed cabins.
The owners were very friendly and went out of their way to ensure that we were as comfortable as possible.
I highly recommend Cedarholm.
