Pulled a few of my Spanish Roja which had gone far enough - the rest
looks like it might actually want a few more days.

My mutt garlic is well-beyond-time, and also shuffling itself off my
list by comparison. Much smaller bulbs. Waning yields from it was part
of the reason for getting the SR in the first place. Gave them equally
pampered beds this year, and there's little contest. SR won our informal
taste sampling at a garlic festival when we were looking for a new seed
garlic candidate...

after the heat of last week i'm also able
to get back outside and get things done.

i'll be out cutting garlic tops off today and
lifting garlic too if i can get to it. that is
the task for the next few days.
