Forgive the punny title... but I really did I plant 99 things!
The Total:
I bought a big bag of garlic from Costco a month or so ago, knowing that I would be planting all of the largest cloves. Many have begun to sprout, so they look nice and fertile. I am totally aware that it is about 4 months too late to plant the garlic because they won't produce large roots now, and that the pearl onions aren't the right type of onion set to plant. But garlic and onions are cheap enough at the store... what I really want are the greens!
Soon there will be a row of garlic along the backs of 3 raised beds, and a wee forest of onion near the mint and sages. Even in years with the worst of gardening luck, the garlic and onion greens have never let me down.
You know, I should just make it a round 100. I must have another garlic clove in here somewhere...
Grow some. Doooooo it. You know you want to.
