Garlic: ripe or RIP?
I started the day with two tapping audios. I exercised and fixed breakfast. When the audios were over, I started in on the longer ones. But deleted several because I am tired of being tied to my laptop, or having it tied to me. I put it into a backpack while I swept off the shelves in the carport. It was dusty work. Then I left it behind while I transplanted some daffodil bulbs, and dug up a stand of garlic. I dug them up because their foliage had fallen over. That's what articles on the internet said to do. However, they also said it happens in July or August. I think they live farther north. Anyway, I looked up how to pickle garlic. Then I brought the bulbs in and blanched them. I tried to peel them, but there were no cloves inside, they were like onions. I cut them up. I boiled vinegar, sugar and salt and threw in the garlic. Then I put them in jars and covered them with the juice. I really don't think they are ripe, but hope they pickle ok anyway. I took pics of the daylilies in bloom, and the plant I can't identify. I was reading e-mail when Chris came home. We ate supper. I watered the tomatoes. We watched our latest Netflix movie - Mission Impossible. This one I was able to follow (unlike the previous ones which had me baffled). But it was so suspenseful I almost asked Chris to pause the movie so I could catch my breath. Since it was still early, Chris wanted to watch Walking with Dinosaurs: Allosaurus. It is a BBC production and not bad for a documentary. Then he went to bed. I took a shower to get off all the dust and plan to go to bed as soon as I finish this blog. Tomorrow is another sewing Saturday and I hope I think of something to take to work on by morning. It is also the day we are supposed to put food out by the mailbox for the mailcarrier to collect. I bought some cans yesterday after going to the post office. I just hope I remember to put the bag out.
