Harvest Monday

I missed last weeks Harvest Monday due to computer glitches and a crazy schedule.  It's OK though, because there really wasn't much to report.  This week, however, I'm back in the saddle :-)

This week we harvested:
15 oz of Kale


1 oz of mint



1 pound of Garlic


The kale and mint were dried and stored and the garlic is still curing on the pantry shelf waiting patiently to be made into our very first batch of homemade garlic powder!

Last year I waited until the end of the season and then harvested all of the mint...This year I've decided to pick leaves continuously, then dry/dehydrate and use throughout the colder seasons.

Harvest Monday is hosted by Daphne at daphnesdandelions.  Check out what she's harvesting, as well as what many, many others are harvesting, as well!

    My garlic ought to be ready to pull in a week or two. I can't wait for it. I dry it in the bike shed and it makes it smell heavenly.
