Random Stream of Consciousness

Shopping for garlic for the fall planting. I messed up last year, everywhere sold out so I planted supermarket garlic. It turned out to be a softneck variety, no good for the northern climate. I just picked it when I realized it wasn't making scapes and generally looking shitty. Amazed it came up at all, since softnecks are planted in spring, not fall.
Should have these available for fall planting. Can send a chat or question to find out when they will have it in stock for fall planting.

Boo! All their garlic is sold out. Nearly all anyway. Burpees fixed me up, got 3 varieties coming in September.

That makes sense why the garlic I planted isn't like what I've seen growing.

Yea, they sell garlic from this years harvests from local\regional growers I believe. I just called them... they'll have in stock around +\- labor day weekend and start shipping. If you sign up for their newsletter or facebook page, they may have pre sales, then ship when in stock in order of orders placed.
 
where I fail is the dry and cure. best I can do is 78 with 20% humidity in the bedroom.
I just finished drying... temp\rh started at 72\55... then went wacky... after 3 days it was too dry, so I place in a sealed bin... and some in paper bag in the sealed bin, then I would check and "burp" the bin and bags.... what i thought would be a 5 day quick dry turned into 11 days... not ideal, but it worked for me
 
There's a foot of sunshine allready, and it's still coming down.
Be safe out there!
