profesora said:Thank you, so much, Sandy. Next week I will be planting garlic and onions.
I have more time in the late summer and early fall. In the spring and early summer, I have too many garden chores and duties to do.

I so agree about having more time towards the end of summer... whew, kind of gets to be a whirlwind of things that HAVE to be done for a while there!
This seems rather early for planting garlic, though... is late August the time that you normally plant it? and, if so, does it start growing tops before winter sets in? I'm really curious about this because I've always read that it should be planted later, so the roots start developing but no top growth, which will get killed by the cold -- is this yet another "myth" ? (I've also read that we can't grow Creole garlic in the north but proved that one wrong this past year !
At any rate, best of luck with the onions... are you planting sets, or plants? (I'm kicking myself now, after getting pretty nice onions from the experiment last fall, because I have neither to stick in the ground at this point...
)
