I love garlic and I keep buying more and more and buying better and better qualities from farmers in my area.

Then I thought, what the hell? .... I can grow my own

Then I realized how long it freakin takes to grow garlic .... you have to plant them in the fall, and hope that they take in the spring and grow by the summer ... and depending on how good your situation is, you have a 50/50 chance of having a good harvest or not.

Yeah, it’s not really worth it unless you’re doing a lot imo. I just put in about 200 that I don’t expect to harvest until summer.

Can you even store that much garlic? 6 months is the most I manage to keep, and that would be a lot more than I would ever be able to use in that time.

[–] Theatomictruth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I don’t know what it is about my storage conditions but we have no trouble keeping our garlic and squash well into spring. As for getting through it all, we love garlic and 99% of our meals are home cooked.

It doesn't like to grow here (not enough winter, and summer too wet) but my grandma in Arkansas always planted garlic all along her fence line in her yard.

I can recall a video from a few years back of people showing college students how you could get free TV using an antenna. They thought it was some sort of piracy device or somehow illegal.

I mean, I would rather watch nothing if my only other option was to watch the TV. A two hour movie is stretched into three hours and you can't even pick what and when you want to watch.

I don't miss the times when watching the TV was the only option in our household.

When I visit my parents they still watch the TV even when they have Wi-Fi, laptops and tablets. They still watch it and when I see all those ads I want to vomit.

My TV antenna is almost exclusively for live sporting events.

I know a lot of people, including my mom, that would try to cultivate avacados from the seed, but even if they were successful, the chances of the avacados being produced actually being good/edible is pretty small. You usually clone avacado trees; they aren't true to seed.

That is pretty amusing honestly.

It comes out of the ferking ground! I couldn't believe it!

On an unrelated note my brother decided to plant a garden. He did Cucumbers, peppers, Tomatoes and I think some type of squash.

His garden was very successful.

Holy fuck that entire summer ever time I saw him, he would give me shopping bags of all of the above. It was comical he had mountains of them and no way to stay ahead of it. It was cool at first but I was a second college kid, I didn’t eat that monthly let alone the every other day required to stay ahead of the supply.
