Photo of the Month – July: Garlic Harvest 2011

Emily makes room for some aggressive winter squash plants while nearly 200 heads of recently harvested and home-grown garlic dry below the porch. We’ll set aside thirty of the largest heads to seed next year’s stock, and enjoy the rest throughout the coming year by incorporating it into nearly everything we cook, by roasting, by mixing into pestos, salsas, pickles, gazpacho, salad dressings and sauces…and by sharing with friends and neighbors. Yum. Yum.
