Laughing Thyme Farm: Living the Dream

Back in July I ordered by fall plantings of garlic, because I know that certain varieties sell out quickly.  I was supposed to receive the garlic via the mail sometime in September.  It’s now October and I still haven’t received the garlic.  So I’m going to have to e-mail the company and see what’s up. 

I was hoping to get the garlic in this weekend, but it looks like my plans will have to change.  Instead, this weekend we’ll probably work on getting the beets in and hope that the seedlings get big enough before the frost.  We had a lot of rain at the wrong time, so we had to postpone the planting.  I hope that it will work out.  I love pickled beets and I only have one jar left….  I’d also like to pressure can some for borsht.  Mmmm…..

But back to the garlic.  I ordered a decent amount because:

1.  We use a LOT of garlic.  Almost every dinner has garlic in it. 

2.  Eric wants me to try to make this hot garlic stuff he bought at the grocery store a couple of times.  I’m not sure if they are pickled or not, because although I adore garlic I couldn’t make myself eat a whole clove of garlic by itself. 

So….I’ll be writing the company to find out where my garlic is.  I’ll also be looking out for Eric’s mystery garlic recipe, but I’ll have until next summer to find that.
