My garlic harvest came off at the same time as the first of my statice blooms this season. I worked some of the statice into the braids for a colorful touch.

Few things are more beautiful in the kitchen than a hand-crafted, decorative #garlicbraid. It adds a wonderful aroma to your kitchen and keeps a very common staple within arm’s reach. Our method can be used with both hard and soft neck garlic. Read more: ift.tt/2aWDFAo
They say a Mother's work is never done. I spent Mother's Day harvesting and cleaning about 165 heads of hard neck garlic. After the cleaning process, I laid the garlic out to dry in a cool, shaded spot for several days. About mid week, the stems and leaves were pliable enough to braid. Braiding provides a decorative and practical way to dry and store the garlic. If hung in a cool spot in the house, I've had them keep for months where I utilize them by cutting the lowest head on the braid and working my way up.
My garlic braiding game is on point! My body included for scale. #garlicbraids #musicgarlic #farmlife #harvest

This squash is filled with a meaty tomato sauce I made using the tomatoes from the farm. The dish is a bit out of focus but what can I say, I really wanted to eat this all up :-) It was delicious. Later I added a few chunks of goat cheese just before eating.
Thanks ch☺c☺kat for identifying the name of this fun looking squash!
This soft neck garlic grew in three months - a handy organic addition to the kitchen given the price of garlic and toxic Asian imported varieties that are sprayed with a cocktail of chemicals. A major saving plus I know it's safe to eat!
I braided the bulbs together to hang and store in our kitchen after curing the bulbs for about 3 weeks till the skins became papery and the stems dried out. Then trimmed the roots to neaten up. So easy!
I love growing food for my family and we produce most of our needs for fresh fruit and vegetables from our kitchen garden. It's grown organically and I put a lot of love into my soil which in return reaps us a bounty of nutrient dense, organic life giving food.

The colour and vibrancy of the food is testament to the plants getting what they need from our soil.

I decided to make two braids, one standard 13 head braid with the biggest heads, and one 10 head braid of the smaller heads. This allows us to have one pretty braid hanging in the kitchen while we use the other. It also allows me to do the process twice, first with the sub-standard heads for practice, and then with the better ones, so that if there were lessons to be learned I could apply them in my second braid.

Part of the joy of my garlic harvest each year, after they have been cleaned, is the braiding. It is a beautiful and very effective way to store the garlic which hung in a cool place out of sun light can be used typically for up to a year.
Add the 13th head in the center. Continue braiding stems without adding heads until you like the length.
Add a new bulb in the center, lining its stem up with the middle stem. Fold the right-side stem over the middle stems, so that it is the new center stem (not shown).
I harvested this garlic in November 2011 and started plaiting the stems into a braid to hang. I had to leave enough space to separate the cured bulbs to help them store well. It's a fun and easy project. These are softneck garlic.

The pretty braid will be display only for a while, so it can to in that awkward spot that's hard to get to.
(Wednesday, 28 July 2010) We started picking our first garlic crop here at camp. Eileen was especially proud of her first attempt at braiding some of the garlic!
Add a new bulb on the right. Align its stem with the center stem. Fold the left-side stem over the middle stems so they become the new center. (I think I may have aligned the new stem with the left stem here, but I don't think I was supposed to.)
