Despite my complete failure to plant garlic last fall, I have a feeling I will be lousy with the stuff come harvest time.
While turning the soil in my vegetable bed on Saturday, I came across what may very well be hundreds of garlic seedlings. I must have missed one or two flower heads from last year's crop, and they were apparently quite prolific.
I even found three additional alliums, either leeks or onions, and replanted them in hopes they will re-root and add the my pantry when ripe.
Half of the fun of gardening is seeing what comes back from last year. While the vegetables I grow are not perennials, the seeds they produce provide me with foodstuffs without any effort. Or, very little effort.
I'm a big fan of volunteer gardens. I expect to find scads of tomatillos, tomatoes and various winter squashes popping up all over my garden. My compost will also provide who knows what else.
I can't wait...to eat it!
