Day 358 #365DaysWild

Open the door to ‘Dad’s Tool Shed’ in our vegetable garden and the big, warm, sweet, onion fragrance of harvested garlic hugs you.

Resting there after their growing season, in the dark of the shed shelves while their leaves and stems dry to a brittle gold.

They were planted as individual cloves in October where they became established before the winter. The wet spring probably helped swell the bulbs too.

We’ll save the biggest, plumpest bulbs to split and plant in the composted ground in the autumn.

And eat the rest.

Get in!
