Garlic harvesting room 9

We know our garlic is ready after it has been 6 months in the ground and the bottom leaves are turning brown and it is almost the longest day of the year !

Great to work with you in the garden !
We talked about seeds and about the lifecycle of a plant.
Then we planted lettuce seeds in pots. 
We will keep our pots in the potting shed and water it every week so our seed can grow!

Preparing the soil for spring 
We added our own CTS made organic compost, sheep manure that was kindly donated to us and a layer of pea straw. 

We removed some new weeds, then raked the soil slowly back and forth to level the surface
We added organic compost to feed the soil, then we planted garlic that will be ready in the summer !
