My garden is mostly just herbs, so it was a rarity that I planted something to eat. Melissa helped put the garlic in the ground last fall, and it has grown and was finally ready to be harvested. I enjoyed the delicious garlic scapes during the spring, but I was very much so looking forward to pulling up the heads, braiding them and hanging them to dry. Melissa helped me dig up the garlic, and this was half of it. I laid it out to dry in the sun for a few days and then I braided it up. It now hangs in the kitchen. I look like a proper Italian mama now.

The garlic has now been replaced with 4 wonderful varieties of lavender.
