Russian Red hardneck garlic<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
This morning, I harvested my garlic. The total haul: 18 Russian Red<\/em> hardnecks and 17 Transylvanian<\/em> softnecks. On November 8, I had planted 16 hardnecks (some of them split resulting in 18 bulbs) and 18 softnecks (meaning I only lost one over the winter). They will now spend a day or two on the porch airing out before I brush off the dirt and hang them to dry and cure in my hallway for about three weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hardnecks on the top, smaller softnecks on the bottom<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
I also harvested my first Cocozelle <\/em>zucchini (zucchino?). Looking forward to grilling it and the two eggplants I harvested yesterday. After grilling, I will add a tiny bit more olive oil and sprinkle a little chopped mint on the zucchini and chopped basil on the eggplant. Served with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, olives, prosciutto, crusty bread \u2013 perfect summer antipasti!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
