Farmers Myke & Kathryn of November's Harvest Farm joined us for National Garlic Day! Garlic is one of their favorite crops, and they grow a wide variety of it every year. In early March, they began weekly plantings of garlic in glass jars to show us the progression of plant growth. We discussed the difference between hard and soft neck varieties, the joy of garlic scapes (the edible stems of the plant, used similarly to scallions, allowing for that early garlic flavor), the benefits of planting in the fall, and many other things. They even brought in bread and garlic-infused olive oil for a snack so the residents could taste the difference between fresh and raw garlic.
Everyone had a fabulous time and learned so much. Thank you, Myke & Kathryn!
