Welcome




Hello, and Welcome to my blog. 
I am looking forward to sharing all of the subtle and intuitive details of my experience in observing and growing garlic as an Ontario garlic farmer. Most especially, as one who specializes in collecting rare and heritage types of garlic.  I shall also attempt to be practical, and offer some straight-forward growing tips, planting guides, and other interesting information on soil, gardening, and related topics.
  I've been growing garlic with my family for over 10 years, and I can't say that it has ever been as late to harvest as it is has been this year.  We are still busily at it, so I'll leave my further writings for later.  If you have a question or would like to leave a comment, please do so.

Garlicky Regards, Julie Fleischauer

  1. I read your article Harvesting Garlic. You have a fine understanding of things. That's a beautiful photo, above, by the way.

    1. Thank you. The interesting thing about gardening, and farming, is that you can always learn more! Practically applying a theory is in fact one of trickiest parts. And anticipating what will happen based on how the weather and the soil looks is the next step.
      The picture is of a Glazed Purple Stripe. I made these boquets to sell at a Garlic Festival one year.
