Garlic planted….

Posted on 21 October 2009 by Paul (0)

Daddy & AsaTuesday was a very productive day.  I got up bright and early and started planting as soon as I could.  Basically, all that was left was a row of Spanish Roja and then 5+ rows of German White.  It took most of the day, but I got it all in.

Towards the end of the day, Kathleen and Asa surprised me.  At that point, I had 50 heads of German White to break and plant.  Kathleen and I broke all the heads and then she planted the final row while I walked around with Asa on my shoulders.  He had a blast as I ran up and down the rows.

In the end, I didn’t have time to spread any of the straw, but hopefully I can get that done in the wee hours at the start and end of the day over the next few days.  I have 4 rows covered so far.

Now for the counts of what I planted:

Music – 665
MarJean – 763
Ukranian Red – 2,739
Spanish Roja – 2,152
German White – 4,159

All these numbers are based on field measurements.  There’s no doubt they’re not 100% correct, but they’re really really close.
