So I've been slacking on my blog, but now I have 10 min to play catch up!
In the past month, I've cleaned up the garden, pruned the trees, and planted my garlic! It takes me a while to do all this because of my back, but if I do little bits at a time, then it gets done. :) This is the first year I've planted garlic. I decided to get a hard-neck variety since it grows better in colder climates. It doesn't keep as long, but it will survive, which is the important part! They were pretty big cloves, so I imagine I'll have some good sized bulbs come next August!
I also found this website on pumpkin care!

And another!

I was looking up how to prune the pumpkins so they don't take over my garden next year.
So that's about it. You're all caught up. I'm getting through my semester. I've survived this long, what's another 3 years for a phD?
Toodles!
