tinksbell: Oh i love the fall and the crisp air.I'm home for now maybe another 6 months or so.We have some things ready to be picked but our growing season is over.I'm in Central NY.

Kipling: So far we have very good luck with the garlic every year.We plant the way my granmother does and has for about 30 yrs and her garlic is pretty good in size and very potent.
I'll think on that one since we plant garlic next month where i live.
ArtfulDodger: We use grass clippings and leaves.My husband also uses a can of Pepsi to get new composte cooking.It needs to be turned every few days so far we've have good luck with it.
Foxy Lady: Because of garlics long life in the earth,it will produce.
Perhaps if you had time,you could plant at both of the moons phases.
I believe you would be amazed at the difference.
I'm sure the "Farmers Almanac", will strongly recommend planting things such as radishes,carrots,beets,potatoes,onions,and garlic during the"dark" side of the moon.
Subject: I'd like to offer my apologies to the members in the UK
for offending them. I was hoping to show how it felt to have one's country continually attacks. Apparently it was a bad idea as it offended many of my UK friends as well. So to them I say I'm truly sorry and to all I offer my apologies. I'm off to go soak my head now.
ScarletRose: It hit 83 today and going back in the 50's tonite.We got all our garlic up and getting that section ready to plant in Oct usually on the full moon.
Foxy Lady: You asked about Goodfoods. He is rightin New Orleans. I've been hoping to hear from him too but that's to possible when the entire city has no power. I know his wife an family got our ok as SR said. If he stayed behind to be with the pets I just hope he got to high ground with them or at least himself. It is nerve racking waiting to hear word.
Foxy Lady: he was going to wait out the storm at home.. his family went to safety.. he stayed behind with the family pets.. I think he was online till the power went out.. or he went to sleep.. but, I would say power went out.. that was during the storm..
