| Stormy talking about island grown garlic |
Here are my notes from his presentation:
- Garlic can be planted between October and January as garlic likes a bit of a cold to set in.
- Deer don't eat garlic but they may pull them up.
- You may harvest garlic around July
- And plant the cloves about 3 inches into the soil.
On Potatoes:
- Plant them between March and Early June
- Before you plant your seed potatoes, put them in a warm area so they can begin to sprout.
- As with garlic plant them about 3 inches into the soil and cover up the potatoes (by making a hill) if you see them poking out.

| Dave presenting his seeds |
He brought in a series of seeds and talked about them and brought up some health benefits of the different plants. He gave a long list of different things to plant that grow well here but here are my highlights:
- Long Pie Pumpkin (Nantucket Pumpkin)
- Green Wave Mustard (it tastes a little like wasabi)
- White Russian Kale
- Black Seeded Lettuce
- Butter Crunch Lettuce
- Green Beans
- Bulls Blood and McGrerror's Beats
- Dwarf Gray Sugar Pods
If you are interested in getting seeds send Dave an email and he will give you more information: harvestcircle@hotmail.com
