Planting Garlic - better late than never!

I have a tradition of planting the last of the garlic on Thanksgiving morning. Generally it's a warm day and I just have a bit more to fill in some gaps. This year with snow coming every weekend it was hard to find a time when the soil was dry enough to plant.

Luckily on Thanksgiving some sections were
planted up to the beautiful sunset time!
dry enough to plant (and some friends cooked dinner!) And the next day I planted all day in the high winds to take advantage of the drier soil before the next predicted snow which never materialized. This week I was able to finish up and enjoy the prospect of a snowy weekend coming.
I have a little left over that I didn't have room for which I'll sell at Winter Market on Sunday then I can relax a bit...
Ahh....
