It's a great feeling to go into the yard to pick out garlic fresh from the ground. Found out that store bought garlic does grow.
My idiot self didn't use enough fertlizer while the garlic was in teh ground. So they are all really small. The largest so far being and inch high and wide. There isn't much odor either. I don't know if this is because they are store bought or because they are small.
I smell the garlic in the cut part of the stem but not in the cloves themselves.
I had to use pesticide on my zuchinni. :(
I've got cucumber beetles. The first application didn't get rid of them. So I reapplied. I will not use anymore. If the plant dies, it dies. I will try again next year. I mean hey, at least this year I got to see fruit where as last year the plant kept turning brown and dying and all I got were male flowers.

Well, it may just be me, but it appears that you wrote your blog with the font on web dings or wingdings. I can't read a thing.

I learned not long ago that this is a font issue. The poster has used a font the GG program does not recognize. Maybe Chris will repost.

It sounds to me like your garlic isn't mature yet. When did you plant it, chris? I hate cucumber beetles with a passion. They spread bacterial wilt. Carefully pull any vines that have turned yellow and burn them if possible. If you can't burn them, bag them up and put them in the garbage. Don't compost them or allow them to remain in contact with the soil.
