3.5 Hours

What a difference uninterrupted morning in the garden makes. I got a rare chance to work in my garden as long as I wanted... until I got too tired and hot. But after that I felt so good.

Yesterday morning I started with digging up my garlic harvest: elephant garlic (upper left corner; started as three cloves last fall), garlic 'Music' (medium size; planted 24 cloves, now I got 20 garlic heads) and unidentified small garlics. The latter grew from typical grocery garlic. There are always some cloves that are too small to clean and prep. Typically I throw those away, but since back then it was time to plant garlic, I pushed them in ground. They are still too small for kitchen use, but I'll save them to plant in some corner this fall again.
I also pulled a few beets (to be roasted and used in salad) and one red onion, just to see how big it has gotten. Onions will probably come out next. Too bad beans become rabbit food, otherwise I'd plant them in the free space--it's still not too late to plant beans.

Besides harvesting, I pulled some weeds from veggie patch and two flower beds, I also edged one of the beds. I watered some plants. I tried to make my own leaf mulch with lawnmower (not successful). I wanted to keep going and setting order in other parts, but I got too tired. After all, at least the backyard got good care and everything else can be done in smaller time chunks.
