I buy the big elephant garlic from HEB and plant the cloves from them. I have had pretty good success. They do well in the south, although they are not a true garlic. The odd pepper looked a little like a mini bell. If you bite into one and it is hot, I will admit I am wrong. I would go ahead and take down the okra . They may attract more nematodes the longer they grow. Okra really attracts nematodes.
@@growyourownfood7814 I did a lot of research for garlic before ordering, so I feel pretty good about it. The pepper does look a bit like a bell, but also not. It’s a weird one! I’m just gonna let it grow and see what happens. I haven’t had any nematode issues, but I do have some earwigs 🙄. Rude little insects!
@@littlesaltyhomesteader I know you can grow regular garlic in Texas. There was a man in San Antonio about 20 years ago that grew enough garlic to sell for "seed" stock. Not sure what happened to him. I even bought some cloves of several different kinds. Did not have much luck. One thing I have discovered is garlic does not like to be crowded. Does not compete well with other plants.
@@opraha1113 my husband said he hit a little on the way home from downtown yesterday. But we have 5 days of rain in the forecast - hope you get some of it!
I hear comments help with the algorithm, so... The way those Sun Flowers are staring into the green house makes me wonder what's going on in there.😁 I don't like okra(for eating, like the flowers though) so I'd vote to remove and replace them. Are they to old to branch if cut back, say in half. An experiment maybe.

Your garden looks amazing! Glad you got rain. Still waiting here in Dallas 🙃

@@AProAmature I’m down for an experiment for sure! Haha!
And the sunflowers are definitely staring in the greenhouse, aren’t they 😂😂😂
