  1. This time I put my Aug 1 harvest in the fridge to trick it for September 15 planting. Only my second year trying garlic growing, after few decades of lazy weedy hot chillies and tomato playing.
    Plus buying 5 lb from BJ to try in a shady spot. Good luck everyone!

  2. My lazy thoughts on profit crops. $/ lb/ sq ft/ labor.
    Caution: very lazy and low expectation attitude. A wild hope for a set it and forget it season, if it grows, good, if not, oh well. But then I always end up putting in a slight effort LoL.

    I have a 30*30 ft shady garden for private consumption, and don't want to risk my well system during droughts. There are also numerous weeds and vines invading every year.

    Black fabric has been good for weed control and moisture retention since 2017.

    I value my good tomatoes at $5/lb, my good chillies at 4, and garlic at 6. Plus that's what I like.

    Now cilantro has been difficult to grow for several years, attested to by a product manager at a grocer. For some good cilantro, I'd pay $3/bunch. Thinking of trying growing kulantro.

    Thai basil. It may be trendy in some regions. I tasted a leaf at the nursery two yrs ago and was interested. Sweeter than Italian basil. Sprouts quickly but seedlings don't thrive.

    Lemon thyme:. Hardy and tasty. Invasive but a potential edge plant to resist weeds.

    Garlic chives are Hardy and invasive, I don't like to chew them, but again, a good border for some, I'd rather have herbs instead of weeds. They smell good when mowed!

    I prefer to limit my labor to 5 hrs/week, so I continue with what I like to eat, and what has a better success probability for my situation!!

    Grape tomatoes yield heavily and generally are kill proof lol. A little feed and water boosts them, but not necessary. They're $3/pint. Thrives in half shade.

    A few years ago loved the Napa valley grape, about triple a generic grape, would like to get some as a Roma competitor.

  3. Wow nice video…I just planted my garlic 2 weeks ago and can't wait for harvest next year…It is my first time so I hope it goes well…we have crazy weather in NY. Thanks so much for taking the time I am taking notes! All the best to you! would like to see the harvest update!
