I didn't make a thread last year becasue well you know how life can get in the way sometimes BUT I thought with the cost of food prices going up why not a make a general gardening thread for 2023!!
Usual caveats apply so if the mods/admins feel like moving this feel free. I know we have a gardening sub but OT seems to get a little more traffic and this thread is more for posting pics/general conversation about gardening not a specific question.
Anyway, not much going on yet as it is still to early here in Central Illinois but we did harvest our garlic today. It was planted on November 1st last fall and just came ready!! Besides that we have the usual garden plants like peppers, tomatoes, beans, and corn coming along nicely. I've done an ATOT garden tour in the past but haven't in a few years maybe I will this year if I have time.
Alright enough talk! I'll start by posting up some pics of the garlic we harvested today.

Put them in the drying racks on the front porch. They will cure out here for 3-4 weeks before we net them and put them into long term storage.
