RE: Mid Way Point At The End Of The Season

Things are winding down for us here. I threw in some garlic last fall hoping it would do something for me this year. Unfortunately, I trimmed it too early and we had a drought at the beginning of the summer that pretty much killed it. I don't know if I will have a garden next year. I have a lot of weeding I need to do if I end up planting one.

That's unfortunate about your garlic. I have actually had a few people tell me this year their Garlic did not do well either. I will keep the trimming in mind in the future, I actually did not know that. Probably what happened to my friend as well.
I fell you on the weeding, what I did last year was throw some ply wood in a few spots. It seemed to work well, the only issue I had was it seemed like the gophers really liked the cover and made a home under neath!
I have some landscape fabric that I am probably going to put down next year if I do anything. Hopefully that will help. There is a point with garlic where the scapes start forming and you trim those off, but having never seen them before, I thought they were ready and I was wrong. I ended up cutting off some of the stem.
