Enjoying the sights, sounds and smells of first-time parenthood. Progress on the vegetable garden and other ramblings of a gaijin in Japan’s least populous prefecture.

Garlic (ninniku)

Filed under: garden — adekun @ 9:47 am

Recovering somewhat for my cold (still dogged by it after a week), I ventured out to the garden. We had a typhoon the other day and sadly one of the newly transplanted broccoli fell victim. I’m unsure if it will regrow?
The only other bad thing about the heavy rain, was that it washed away the crushed eggshells. This left an exposed front which the slugs quickly took advantage of.

Below is some regular garlic against a Japanese variety (Aomori).

Got a little carried away with the eggshells but not going to take any chances. Will add some beer traps.
