They need to be in the ground by June 30th and while I was two weeks earlier than last year, I still didn’t get them planted until right around the middle of July this year. The brutal summer stunted some [...]]]></description>

I planted 41 cloves of garlic evenly divided between Russian Red and plain old white from the grocery store. I still have several heads from this summer’s harvest, just haven’t done that [...]]]></description>

At $2–3 a plant from the local nursery, I usually end up spending $50–100 in plants. I came up with the grand scheme to grow enough transplants for myself and to sell the [...]]]></description>

So while it’s not technically summer yet, here’s a little taste of what’s been going in The Experiment’s home garden. For the first time, I’m tracking yields as a way to objectively compare changes and [...]]]></description>
