Cauliflower seems to grow best here in the fall. I have several rounds of cauliflower coming on right now, but I did get to harvest some today, and to harvest three types of green beans. Here is a photo (click on it to enlarge it if you want to).
I also got to plant next years garlic. This year I'm trying something new with the garlic. There are two types of garlic - soft neck and hard neck. Usually we plant soft neck garlic because it is easier to braid. But this year I saw a video put out by Peaceful Valley farm supply. You can see it at http://groworganic.com/seeds/seed-garlic.html. I got convinced to try both soft and hard neck garlics this year. Their informative pamphlet suggested soaking the cloves to be planted in liquid fertilizer (I use Maxsea - a seaweed based fertilizer developed in Southern Humboldt by John Dimmick). You can see a picture of the broken up cloves floating in the water and fertilizer. I then planted the garlic in a bed I had tilled this morning. It looked like this during the planting:
I bought a new pot a few days ago. I've always liked glazed pots, but usually don't purchase them because of the price. I had a $50 coupon for Ace Hardware, so I decided to splurge on the pot. I wanted a pretty pot on the walkway when my mom comes to live with us. I got to fill it with potting soil today.
