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.
