Garlic


I planted about 15 cloves of garlic at the end of fall. These are just super market garlic. I am curious to see how they fare. I am pulling out the weeds often, I must mulch the area soon. I will be harvesting them in June. They will be ready to harvest when the leaves turn brown. I can't wait!

Methi harvest and apples

I harvested the methi leaves yesterday and made Methi Pulav.



Methi Pulav, Brussel Sprouts and Raita :)




I bought the Golden Dorsett Apple tree at the end of Jan 2010 as bare root. It was on sale at Home Depot for $8.50. It started sprouting leaves in Spring and started blossoming in October. It had set lots of apples at the end of fall. Being a small tree I do not know whether to remove the small apples to let the tree grow further because all the tree's energy will be spent on apples now. I would rather have the tree grow bigger and establish itself and then have apples. Anyway I will do more research on this topic.


How cute are these tiny apples?
