    Harvest , use what you can and preserve the rest . If it spoils just grow more next year and harvest a bit earlier . 😊. It’s all learning but what fun we are having ! 🥰

    You can for sure use fresh garlic! The drying is just for preserve. You can see If some bulbs are still Good enough for drying or preserve this fresh garlic by drying, freezing or pickle the pulp /cloves Goodluck!

    Sis everything is so nice and organized. I love it you are such an inspiration. May I ask what do you recommend as far as soil for seed starts?

  • @UrbanSunflowerHomestead
    @UrbanSunflowerHomesteadАй бұрын

    Thank you! I recommend just coco coir, worm castings and a little perlite for seed starting. It helps keep down on fungus gnats. If you don’t feel like making your own use the fox farms coco loco line.
