Here is the end result of the garlic.
I have been advised to not braid it up till the stems dry so tomorrow I will unbraid it and leave it dry naturally. A couple of years ago when I got a garlic harvest i did not braid them and they dried well.




Anyway, the weather has been really cool. I don't think it got over 20C today. Everything continues to grow.

Here is the main patch with potatoes in the fore ground and tomatoes in the background.





First cucumber. I nearly picked this today and sneaked off somewhere to munch it all by myself. Here's hoping for plants laden with fruit like last year.


The lazy housewife beans. I am also growing Blue Lake and another variety that grows purple. Pics of those at a later date.

Garlic

I had to pull out the garlic I planted around April earlier this year. There has been a lot of rain and some of them were starting to rot.

There are some decent sized bulbs. Some are very small. Tomorrow they will be tied up and left to dry.

Here's hoping it dries well so it can get used in many yummy dishes.
