Garlic Planting 2013

We planted the garlic today at Winterberry Farm--500 cloves from the 2012 crop. 

My parents helped me. Dad had prepped the garden bed by discing and adding manure. Mom helped me break open the 100-plus garlic bulbs. Dad helped hoe the 4-inch deep rows, while Mom supervised as the QA/QC person. She thought the rows were slightly wavy, but otherwise a good planting. Did I mention that my Mom is 92 and my Dad is 91? They are awesome.

Here's a look at the five rows spaced 9 inches apart
and planted with 100 cloves each spaced 6 inches apart. 

And then covered with two inches of soil and finally about 4 inches of light straw.
