Fall plantings

Fall is an exciting time in the garden.  We plant many different crops that will bloom in the spring.

Brian re-plants part of the ginger that we recently harvested.

Walter prunes brussels sprout leaves to promote ripening of the sprouts.

We grew this head of garlic last year, and set it aside so we could plant more.  Malachi separates the head into cloves.

Each clove will become a full head of garlic.

Walter digs a trench...

...then fills it with compost.

Brian places the cloves in the trench, and covers them over with soil.  They'll be among the first green to appear in the spring.
