Growing in The Garden

The sweet peas are in full bloom in my garden right now (I wish you could smell them!) I love harvesting jars full of blooms to bring inside. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣Here are a few tips to make the flowers (and smell) last as long as possible:⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣• Once blooms begin, harvest at least every other day to encourage blooming.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣• Blossoms will not open more once cut; harvest when all but the top few blossoms are open.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣• Harvest blooms in the morning.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣• Put stems in water right away.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣• Blooms last 5-7 days; adding a floral preservative will increase vase life by a few days. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ #cutflowergarden #sweetpeas Learn More: https://growinginthegarden.com/how-to-grow-sweet-peas-5-tips-for-growing-sweet-peas/ SUPPORT GROWING IN THE GARDEN Amazon Shop: https://www.amazon.com/shop/growinginthegarden Growing in the Garden State 48 T-Shirts https://my.bigcartel.com/products Buy Harvest Calendar: https://growinginthegarden.bigcartel.com/product/perpetual-planting-and-harvest-calendar-for-the-low-desert-of-arizona Seeds: Seeds Now https://www.seedsnow.com/?rfsn=275008.6345c Botanical Interest seeds: https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=250954&u=2736599&m=28945&urllink=&afftrack= Watering Grids: https://shrsl.com/3abpw Use code ANGELA10 to save $10 off $100 Growing in the Garden-Raised Bed Mix at Arizona Worm Farm: https://arizonawormfarm.com/ Harvest Right Freeze Dryer https://affiliates.harvestright.com/1238.html Ollas: https://www.growoya.com/growing Use code GROWING for a discount

I was surprised to see my garlic was ready to harvest earlier than normal this year. Keep an eye on your garlic so you’ll know when to harvest. Here’s what to look for: ⁣ ⁣ • Garlic is ready to harvest when about half the lower leaves are brown, and the cloves are plump and well-formed. ⁣ ⁣ • Garlic left in the ground too long will begin to split, and the garlic will not store well. ⁣ ⁣ • Stop watering when the lower 3-4 leaves brown. Dig up a test bulb to check on size.⁣ ⁣ • About a week later, harvest the garlic by gently lifting it with a fork rather than pulling if it doesn't come out easily. ⁣ ⁣ • Allow the harvested garlic to cure in a shady well-ventilated area. ⁣ Softneck garlic can also be braided and hung up to cure.⁣ ⁣ • Lay the garlic out in a single layer on a rack or floor, or braid the stems of soft neck varieties.⁣ ⁣ • Allow the garlic stems to wither and the papery skins to tighten around the cloves.⁣ ⁣ • Trim roots and trim stems to about 1″ when the necks are moisture-free, completely tight, and dry.⁣ ⁣ • Store bulbs in a dry, cool place. Check cloves regularly, and use any soft ones right away. (Softneck varieties will store longer than hardneck varieties.) ⁣ ⁣ • Save the largest cloves for planting next year. Leave the stored cloves intact.⁣ ⁣ If you’d like more information https://growinginthegarden.com/how-to-grow-garlic-10-tips-for-growing-garlic/ ⁣ #organicgarden #garlic #garlicharvest⁣ SUPPORT GROWING IN THE GARDEN Amazon Shop: https://www.amazon.com/shop/growinginthegarden Growing in the Garden State 48 T-Shirts https://my.bigcartel.com/products Buy Harvest Calendar: https://growinginthegarden.bigcartel.com/product/perpetual-planting-and-harvest-calendar-for-the-low-desert-of-arizona Seeds: Seeds Now https://www.seedsnow.com/?rfsn=275008.6345c Botanical Interest seeds: https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=250954&u=2736599&m=28945&urllink=&afftrack= Watering Grids: https://shrsl.com/3abpw Use code ANGELA10 to save $10 off $100 Growing in the Garden-Raised Bed Mix at Arizona Worm Farm: https://arizonawormfarm.com/ Harvest Right Freeze Dryer https://affiliates.harvestright.com/1238.html Ollas: https://www.growoya.com/growing Use code GROWING for a discount ⁣

Turmeric Harvest. ⁣I’ve been growing turmeric for the last couple of years. If you give turmeric good soil and shade, it’s usually pretty happy and easy to grow. ⁣ ⁣ I save enough from each year’s harvest to sprout and plant again. The remaining harvest goes into many of the year’s soups, smoothies, and tea. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣#turmeric #turmericharvest #organicgarden #desertgarden SUPPORT GROWING IN THE GARDEN Amazon Shop: https://www.amazon.com/shop/growinginthegarden Growing in the Garden State 48 T-Shirts https://my.bigcartel.com/products Buy Harvest Calendar: https://growinginthegarden.bigcartel.com/product/perpetual-planting-and-harvest-calendar-for-the-low-desert-of-arizona Seeds: Seeds Now https://www.seedsnow.com/?rfsn=275008.6345c Botanical Interest seeds: https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=250954&u=2736599&m=28945&urllink=&afftrack= Watering Grids: https://shrsl.com/3abpw Use code ANGELA10 to save $10 off $100 Growing in the Garden-Raised Bed Mix at Arizona Worm Farm: https://arizonawormfarm.com/ Harvest Right Freeze Dryer https://affiliates.harvestright.com/1238.html Ollas: https://www.growoya.com/growing Use code GROWING for a discount
