Giant Garlic


As I have said several times now....that we have the best neighbors on earth in Alabama. Every time we go up to the land, we are invited to their house for dinner the first night we get there. It sure is nice after driving all day and dead tired, to not even have to think about what we are going to do about dinner. We unlock the front gate, ewwww and ahhhh over how things have grown up since the last time we were up there and drive down the grass up to your knees, drive way, hoping not to see any trees fallen across our path. The tacky trailer sure is a sight for sore eyes. Nine times out of ten, the grass in front of the TT has been mowed, all the way to the neighbors. Usually there are some kind of flowers in a mason jar or vase sitting on the picnic table in front of the TT. Two years ago, the bouquet was huge round balls of little flowers.....the blossoms from giant garlic. Yes, they smelled like garlic but not overwhelmingly so. The blossoms dry and last forever. I still have them in the TT. You should see the size of the garlic bulbs. They are the size of your fist. I can't wait to try growing some of my own. It's a good thing we have acres of land.....cause I'm going to want to grow everything. ha.

You are blessed to have such thoughtful neighbors. And I am sure you are likewise a thoughtful neighbor. This will come in handy in the event of a weather or other catastrophic event. You hate to think about that, but you have to.
