We dug up and leveled three terraced beds on this hill. On the edge of each is a planting of wax currants. They are all on drippers. |
Today we planted garlic in the middle bed. |
Sunchokes got planted in the lower bed. It is the furthest away but the farmers I bought them from said they never watered them so they are hearty. |
Two rows of sunchokes with currants in the front. |
This garlic is called Chamisal |
Seed is from an abandoned homestead from a site uphill from the acequia. So basically this beautiful garlic is semi-wild.. |
We have about ten pounds of seed garlic altogether. Five pounds of this Chamisal and another five of our tiny drought tolerant garlic from spring. |
Just gotta cover with dirt and mulch with some straw and we should be good for about an inch of water once a week. |
