This is our second year growing garlic. We used cloves from the first year's harvest. We are having fun, but don't exactly know what we are doing! We plant the cloves, cover with dead leaves/cardboard for the winter, uncover in the spring, and wait to harvest scapes and bulbs. That's it.

What are your garlic growing tips/strategies? Do you feed your bulbs at any particular time?

I bought these cistanthe at a garden shop having a sale on annuals. I didn't know anything about them but loved their colors. After looking them up online and finding out they are succulents, I decided against planting them in the ground and opted for pots. This way I can move them inside/under shelter on rainy/cold days and hopefully they will last more than one season.

Does anyone use a flower garden planning app or website that they like? Is there anything available that is free? I'm very new to gardening and it would be so helpful. I'm still figuring out when different flowers bloom and how tall they get. I would like to be more deliberate in my planting decisions, rather than my current trial and error approach.

This is one of the best shots I've taken! I used a filter on my phone's camera

This is my first post. Anyone know how to rotate images? Is it possible to add multiple pictures to a post?^___^
