Garlic.

Time to make more minced garlic, I completely run out of all the garlic I made last time and didn't realized until yesterday when I had to use some.   

 

In my Garden.

Slowly things are growing, I have some carrots coming out, potatoes are in and so are the sweet potatoes. I have some lettuce popping out and few flowers for now. Next week I will be planting herbs and kale.

Seeds.

It's time to start seeds, with little help we have kale, basil and oregano.

 

Planting.

Potatoes are in the ground with big hopes for a nice dinner or two in late summer.
