It's Harvest Time

For those who planted garlic last fall it may be time to harvest!

Garlic is ready to harvest when the bottom two or three leaves have turned yellow.  Harvest the garlic by prying up the entire plant with a garden fork or shovel and gently removing most of the soil clinging to the bulb.  Cure the plants in full sun for about 2 weeks on a screen.  (Cover with a tarp at night and when it rains.)  When the leaves, stems and roots are thoroughly dry trim the roots, cut the stems to about 1 inch long and store in a mesh bag in a cool, dry place.

Staff Book Review by Liz

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman "The moment hung in time like a drop of honey from a spoon, heavy, golden. Despite covering some very complex themes, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine is actually an uplifting story about one women's journey back into the world of love and self-acceptance. A social misfit with a traumatic past, the novel follows the interior workings of Eleanor's mind as she is determined to find her way out of isolation and into the world we call "mainstream". Quirkiness and deadpan humor abound as the novel begs the question what it really means to be human.  A light read, that touches upon universal truths everyone can relate to, I highly recommend this book for it's portrayal of what it means to persevere!
