That's about 50 bulbs right there, a lot for one guy to eat....from 25' of row...double row. I need to plant a quarter acre just to see if I can sell it.
you can start with planting the little seed garlic on the heads this season, then dig early next season and sell to all those city folks with 3 small bulbettes per p-15 pot friend did it for 30 years and sold to a large grocery store in 500 pound lots = $$$$

Ness, no fencing, but deer...have been browsing here and there, most noticably on my radishes in the garden nearest the woods. Deer in the edge of town tend to browse on what ever they want in it's season. I have fenced with sheep fence in the past though.

Wow that is a lot of produce. I am amazed how green and growing much of your garden is yet. I live about 45 miles south of Green Bay and I am nearing the end with many crops. I am done with green beans, cauliflower, carrots, broccoli,all which were good to very good I have 3 cabbage heads for slaw and fresh. The rest are perkulating in the krock. I am getting a good start on the tomatoes and yields look to be very good. 50 quarts up with a 100 or so to go. Dug my potatoes today. The best yields I have ever had in over 65 years working in gardens. Lot of family will get many. Lot of new dishes to try using spuds and a bit more lefse as well. Two patches of sweet corn were very good. The third is so so and the fourth I just cut to give to the sheep. Don't know the story there. Onions are pulled and they were soso this year. Peppers are doing well. They really need the heat, slow start for them this year. Beets, only had a few and made pickled beets I have never been much about watering, which I need to manage better, but I am amazed at how good most crops have been, even with our limited rain fall and low ground water.
