| Gina is braiding the garlic that we picked today. We harvested almost 5lbs of garlic. |
 |
| We braided 3 of these for storage. They will keep in a cool dark location. We hung them in our storage room with the onions. |
Crooked Plum Farm is a small city farm on 1/3 of an acre. This is a journal about our progress of moving our family to a simpler life. We are located in North Texas Zone 7. We are currently raising 4 children, 10 chickens, 3 ducks, 2 cats and a dog.

Garlic is Harvested

Heat wave.....
The weather has turned on us. May was great for the garden with plenty of rain to keep everthing growing. June on the other hand.....101 degrees yesterday. I spent half the day watering everything. I would get all the way across the garden watered and the other side would need watering again.

| This was the garden in Febuary. I felt cooler looking at these pictures. |
We did manage to get out and pick the last of the plums. We canned another 11 half pint of jam. We were a pound short of plums for my recipe so we added strawberries. Plum Strawberry jam. It turned out awesome.
We harvested 16 1/2lbs of plums off of the crooked plum tree this year. Not bad for a tree that I had given up for dead 5 years ago.
