WOW - Thanks
@weedwhacker, for the link. Much reading to do.
I knew that the garlic would be an experiment. Last year we were walking through our favorite nursery and I saw one lone brown bag with the words Burgundy Creole Garlic written on it ....the last one!!!!. One side of my mind says, "Hey, there is a bag of garlic", the other side of my mind however says "OMG, OMG, there's only one left, I have never planted garlic before, grab it before anyone else takes it!"
Well we know which side won. I will admit that I jump into things and THEN go back and watch videos or read articles.
@drdawg - I am sure you will read more post of some of our experiments in gardening and shake your head
We are hoping to move by year end. Out of HOA territory and into 3 - 5 acres. Once this happens all bets are off on what we will come up with
