I just made the first cheese and Butter and Yogurt. We are covered in the dairy department. Tomorrow we are going to our friends wedding and so much needs to be done before. Lauren will deliver the Coop order and the Potsdam CSA.
I am on the 4th cucumber seeding as they got cold damage like the basil and then the chipmunks ate the seed twice, even though I covered the trays. I am running out of seed and hope this will do. We have one row outside and the last ones will go in the tunnel. Usually I put the first ones in the tunnel but they got eaten by voles and slugs.
You can use the whole piece, cut it into omelets, stir fries, salad dressings, bake it or make garlic vinegar. It tastes like garlic, surprise.
Garlic Harvest Fest will be July 22/23 . I hope you can come and join in the fun of harvesting and peeling garlic while having a good time with friends. More details will follow.
