Garlic for the Spring, CSA lessons learned, appropriate tomatoes, and souping up the coop

Even though the growing season is essentially over, there is still lots going on here at the SIFT farm. We planted garlic in mid-October, and right now it’s tucked away under a layer of mulch, awaiting a new season. Garlic is planted in the fall and mulched. It overwinters, and its shoots are one of the first things to emerge in the spring. We hope by planting the garlic at the ideal spacing this year, we will get an abundance of big bulbs to sell and use for seed next year.  >>more
