Today we had two visitors from Eastern Wisconsin visit the farm to learn some tips, tricks, and what-not-to-do's of starting up a garlic business on a farm that has been in the family for several generations raising "conventional" crops. With their skill-set, determination, and attitude we're sure that they can be successful raising garlic if they put their all into it!
Other than that, Jason spent time cleaning out the garlic garage and assembled some shelving for garlic shipments, and Dan finished the last row of weeding the outside row of Metechi garlic (always has the most weeds)... Also a big shout-out to Emily for her weeding skills and work-ethic yesterday. It is appreciated!
And to top things off, we had close to 2" of rain over night. That in conjunction with the warm, sunny temperatures will help make big bulbs this week. And if that's not enough, we'll start cutting scapes later this week too!
