Garlic and Carrots

IMG00025-20100622-1626IMG00026-20100622-1626These somewhat blurry photos are of my garlic and carrot plants.  I’m rather impressed that I have 16 for 16 of the garlic pods I planted using just a bulb of plain Australian garlic from the grocery store.  The local garlic is sold with the roots still on the bottom, while the garlic imported from China has had the roots trimmed off. 

I wasn’t sure I’d get the carrots, the packet said 2 to 3 weeks till they sprout and it’s 3.5 weeks out now.  I imagine since it’s the cold time of the year they took a little longer.  The weather was nice enough to keep the soil moist but not soaked.

  1. So those vegetables grown in the winter down under? That's quite different from Wisconsin.
