Garlic Madness


Once upon a time,in the fall of 2014, my love and I took a litte detour from our normal route and ended up going a LITTLE crazy at the Garlic Festival in Cuba, NY,,,
Single Garlic PlantWhile walking around rows and rows of booths in the mud and rain, we finally settled on two specific purchases... 10 pounds of white German seed garlic and 1 additional pound of Bulgarian (Rocombole) garlic! 

Let me just say that 11 pounds of garlic is OBSCENE!!!
My tendency to micromanage both processes and results manifested like this...with an  overwhelmingly obsessive tally of heads, cloves, and varieties,.. 


10 pounds of white German resulted in 68 heads of garlic, leaving 357 cloves to be planted.
1 pound of Rocombole garlic yielded 14 heads, leaving 127 cloves to be planted.
After the laborious process of breaking apart all the heads, separating the cloves for planting, the cloves were ready to be sown into the ground, where they would sleep for a long, frigid winter, When the seed sacks were empty and the spreadsheet was tallied, it what was revealed that should all these tenacious plants rise and SURVIVE the late fall and harsh Pennsylvania winter... that we should have no less than... 
484 heads of garlic, and the scapes to boot!


My question to you, my readers, is WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH 484 GARLIC SCAPES?  I have had them pickled, roasted and put in butter, sauteed with olive oil... what do YOU do with these crazy things????


The new babies are getting so BIG!


On March 16th we had several new additions to the farm... namely PEEPS!  We ordered 20 new babies from MyPetChicken.com, including a VARIETY pack!  Yes!  10 assorted "rare breeds" AND 5 assorted Silkies!!!!!!  They have been growing up too fast, here is a preview of the latest development!


No guesses about these pretty girls yet!








This lovely lady is appearing to be a buff polish!  I love her hair!






And what flock is complete without SILKIES!!!!!!  <3 <3 <3
