Aunt Susan's Garden - Finishing Up the Garlic
My garlic is done curing and ready to be prepped for storage. A few of the larger bulbs are being saved to use for this year's fall planting.
By the way - this is the same process for prepping onions for storing once they have finished curing.

    I was interested in the seeds you are showing as I’ve never heard of them. I did checkout their website and like always checked for reviews of this company. Wow! BBB had some doozy complaints with responses Very Unprofessional from the company. Actually I’m surprised as I’ve never seen a company respond in such a manner. It’s too bad as I thought they had a decent selection of seeds, but after reading the poor responses I think best to not get involved. Maybe you purchase in person because I believe it’s a company in your state? Hopefully you won’t need to converse with such nasty customer service as I’ve just read. About vermiculite preventing algae, 😂 I never used it to top seedlings before until just recently and it turned green😂. I’ve never had algae on seedlings before.

    I set the seed packs in fridge inside zip bag and then I read things like poppies need to be in moist soil to stratify. Oh well, we will see. If they don’t pop up in a reasonable amount of time I will bag and throw back in fridge for a bit. Lauren’s grape was one that didn’t WS last year so trying inside. I know they like it cool as the red ones seem to grow all winter. Just sowed Grama Grass and it was up in 2 days. Sowing many more inside soon and maybe a few in WS. I mentioned the difficulties here with WS in your other vid. I hope the coral geranium is actually coral this time as last year they were red and they resent hopefully coral, the double petunias the blue is much slower than the valentine, but the doubles are really nice. Love the Zebrune shallots. And happy dance the Foxglove are looking Great all the way through winter! It is my first time succeeding and can’t wait to see them bloom this year as they are biannual. I’m trying a new way to start seeds in 5” trays and pot up what germinates and see if that is better. Can’t wait to get planting. I have no restraint on how many to plant😂. Just hope I can find room. I am pulling out geraniums that I overwintered tomorrow and hope they still look good. So a lot of potting up tomorrow.

  • @dustyflats3832
    @dustyflats3832 4 місяці тому

    I’ve been reluctant to do very many this year. This winter has been the warmest I’ve ever known. To have 70s in February and March in WI is unheard of. At times I record weather and pinpointed I think what happened last year and it was warm and it snowed. We had rain in January which was crazy also. I think because the seeds are in an artificial environment they germinated way too soon and froze. Some may have rotted. I put a few on the east side of house this year and will see how that goes. We had 70s and this weekend 30-40 and back to upper 60s for several days and by the weekend cold. The nights can get in 20s and some nights the last couple months never reached freezing. Normally we get a brief Jan thaw, but this year it’s continuous. Worried about fruit plants budding too soon, orchards and wineries are also and the maple syrup had to be done a month in advance. I’m not sure WS can be very successful here unless the east side of building does the trick. It’s all out of whack.
