Zone 6B, Southern Ontario.

Selected the biggest cloves from this year’s harvest.
I added some compost, sheep manure and chicken pellets to the soil.
Poked the garlic down, covered with soil then covered with straw.
I also did a makeshift cover in an attempt to keep my cat and other critters out.
Gave it all a good watering, and now, we wait 👀

An exceptional haul on the sweet potatoes this year! I'll just have to give them away there was so much! :D

So i planted strawberries this year. I didnt let them fruit. I pinched off the flowers so she would grow strong roots. Originally I clipped the runners but I stopped.

How do I winterize my strawberries? Pics attached. Do I trim? I read to lay 4 inches of straw on top of them... the weather comes directly at them in the winter. Im in NY. Please help. It took so much self control to not let them flower for the whole year... I cant lose them now!🍓

This is the first one I've ever seen and it's huge!

My smallest carrot. Small knife for scale.

Made from last year's Fall leaves, grass clippings and years worth of coffe grounds and table scraps (non meat). About 70/30 Brown to Green ratio. God I geek out over this stuff!

Tromboncino + squash that grew from the seeds of the mutant tromboncino squash from last year. Longest one was a whopping 40"! Not pictured: the ten squashes still growing in on the vine.

By far my favorite garden plant!

Currently have cucumbers and sweet potatoes growing. However, something has turned them into a snack and I’d like some insight on what I can do as a preventative to this …first time grower of things. Lol
