Tiny Farm Experience (Garlic Planted!)

Tiny Farm Experience is a great site that is following several Canadian farms over the course of 52 weeks. This is going to be a fun year of learning and exploration from across Canada. Check out Lynn and the other farms at www.tinyfarmexperience.com.

Gabriola Island, BC ~ I am quite the delinquent farmer at the moment. I have flown the coop and left all my farm responsibilities to my partner Steve. We had planned a trip to Ontario for Christmas already, but I have come to Toronto early to welcome the arrival of my new beautiful niece.

Steve is still home on Gabriola, and with some help from our friend Maya, our garlic was planted into the raised beds. I was so happy to find garlic grown on Gabriola to use for seed garlic. I have always wanted to try growing softneck garlic, and along with 8 other hardneck varieties, my stock included over 100 cloves of Inchelium Red softneck garlic.

Gabriola Island, BC ~ Who needs a pick up truck when you have a hatchback? This past week we moved 5 car loads of soil from our house to my plot at the community garden. We will be moving in the spring to another house so Steve’s brilliant raised beds he built where we are now needed a new home. These two raised beds on my 400 square foot plot will be planted with garlic. A bit late, but sometimes you just have to push the envelope.
