| 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. |

small crop this season, could be for a multitude of reasons...not too worried though. this should take care of our garlic needs for most of the year.
