Well it doesn’t take a shop to hang garlic. But you’re welcome anyways.

Looking good for a decent harvest this year. We cut back on the potatoes this year and only did a few to have fresh. We’ve already had a couple feeds of new potatoes with cream, dill and fresh onions. Of course been devouring the fresh onions already, couple a day with supper. And lots of fresh salads most every night.
The wife has really gotten into the garlic the last couple years and loves sharing it with family friends, we went with a nice variety this year, been using a few of them as well. Clipped on our garlic map we had to make so we can remember what we planted and where.

Got home just in time for the Garlic Harvest:
Now hanging to cure:
The Bulbils are getting rather close:
While the product of last year's Bulbils (and next year's crop) are doing fine overall:
The Lady picked a Winner in this decorative piece!

They look perfect! I have been hit hard by blossom end rot, so far, and I applied Epsom salts from the biginning.

You want calcium and consistent moisture to battle blossom end rot. Next year try saving all your winter eggshells then throw them in a dry blender/coffee grinder. Put some of that in the tomato hole. Apply Epsom(magnesium) salts in solution or spray the plant later.
Mine are pretty good for the most part doing this. I did have parts of my soaker hoses shrink up in the heat and not drip as much as I thought they were, so a couple plants have some BER.

Consistent moisture is the key for sure. Most soils should contain the required levels of calcium unless they get tied up.
Larger and pointy type of tomato’s are most susceptible to BER.
No garden hacks but due to the warm dry spring blackberries are going off early mid island (Nanaimo). 20 lbs between three ppl over an hour. Results in 2 pies, 3 batches of jam and some for fresh eating. I find if you can find a paved backroad with a ditch and lots of sun results in ripe berries not covered in logging road dust.

What’s the recipe for canning ? I think we’re gonna have an abundance of tomaters this year too
