Types of Garlic for Home Gardens

September 15, 2018 by Rhonda Gales 2 Comments

Today, I’m sharing gardening tips on the types of garlic for home gardens. Fall is the perfect time for planting garlic in my home gardens. I have planted garlic in the spring, but I didn’t get the big bulbs that I had hoped for. So, planting garlic cloves in the fall for harvest the following summer works best for me. When I take this step, I harvest huge, flavorful garlic bulbs.

When I first started gardening I was amazed at the different types of garlic available. I was used to the garlic in the grocery store. However, I had no idea what type of garlic I was purchasing. It came in a pack of 4, and that was good enough for me.

I was visiting a farmer’s market one Saturday, and picked up a few cloves of garlic. I used the garlic in a dish shortly thereafter, and it was than that I realized the flavor was unmatched. It was hot and spicy, just the way I liked my food. I visited the market again to have a chat with the vendor, and we ended up in an hour discussion about planting and growing garlic.

At that point I decided to start growing my own and I haven’t looked back. I love checking out the catalogues and websites, and deciding what I want to plant each season. If you want to grow garlic, there’s few things to consider before purchasing. For example, do you like mild or spicy garlic? Do you plan to store the garlic through the winter? Do you want large cloves etc.? Making selections for home gardens can be confusing. So, here’s a few tips.

Types of Garlic for Home Gardens:

Subspecies of Garlic:

Hardneck – Most of the garlic that I plant is hardneck. The neck is the stalk that grows from the clove of garlic. Hard neck garlic produces a scape or flower stalk. It is recommended that the scape be removed in the summer to avoid robbing the cloves of energy. If the scrapes rob the cloves of energy, the plant will produce smaller bulbs. Some gardeners remove the scrapes to make garlic pesto, add the scrapes to a salad or use it in stir fry.

Hardneck garlic grows best in colder zones. I live in Zone 6B, so hard neck garlic is perfect for me.
Easier to peel
More flavorful
Cloves are larger

Soft Neck – Next, I do plant a few varieties of soft neck garlic, but not many.

Local grocery stores usually carry the soft neck variety.
Grows best in warmer climates.
Perfect for storing over the winter.
Usually lasts 9 – 12 months after harvest.
Great for braiding too. Unfortunately, the cloves are not uniform. Some are large and some are small if that matters.
Softneck garlic is not as flavorful or spicy as the hardneck varieties.

Elephant – Last, I have never planted Elephant garlic in my home garden. But, if you like mild varieties elephant garlic should be at the top of your list.

Elephant garlic cloves are huge compared to the hard neck and soft neck varieties.
Doesn’t have the health benefits of regular garlic or the flavor.
Elephant garlic is more in the family of leeks and onions.
Rather than having several cloves, it is one bulb like an onion.
If you love roasted garlic, elephant garlic is perfect.

There are approximately 100 varieties of garlic under the subspecies of hard and soft neck varieties. Since I like spicy garlic, I purchase from the hard neck categories. My favorite garlic is Spanish Rojo. However other spicy varieties include: Tibetan, Korean Mountain, Shantung Purple, and Chet’s Italian Red.

If you like mild, but flavorful garlic try these varieties: Transylvanian, Early Italian, or Texas Rose.

Check out the different varieties of garlic that you can grow. There are just too many to name here. Most importantly, you want to purchase garlic that suits your individual taste and your growing zone. Before you leave, check out my article on 13 Ways to Use Garlic for Health and Food Uses and Planting and Harvesting Garlic.

Planting and Harvesting Garlic

September 15, 2018 by Rhonda Gales

Are you wondering how to plant garlic in your backyard garden. Planting garlic in your backyard vegetable garden will give you a reward for sauce, salsa and more. Today, I’m sharing gardening tips on how to plant garlic in your backyard garden. You see I planted garlic last year and had no success. So, I decided to try again in the fall. Look at the nice healthy garlic plants that I harvested from my backyard kitchen garden below.

I planted onions in this space last year and they did great. So, I decided to amend the soil with my homemade organic compost. My compost is leaves and kitchen scraps. The garlic cloves loved it.

Harvesting garlic was at the top of my list this week. The size of the bulbs were glorious! However, harvesting garlic requires muscle. The roots at the end of a garlic bulb run deep. As a result, you can’t pull the bulbs out as you would an onion. Since this was my first year planting and harvesting garlic, I didn’t realize how much muscle would be required.

To avoid damaging the bulbs, you must remove the dirt until the entire bulb until it is exposed. Once the bulb is exposed, it is easier to get to the bottom of the bulb. First, I used my garden shovel and my hands to remove the dirt around the bulb. Please wear a good pair of gardening gloves to protect your hands and nails. You will be digging!

Next, I place the shovel under the bulb and worked it until the garlic bulb became loose and I was able to pull it out. Nice way to get an upper body work-out, trust me. I recommend lifting weights during the winter so you can be prepared for this job in the summer!

It’s amazing what can happen in 2 – 3 weeks in the garden. Take a look at the picture directly above. I harvested the bulb on the bottom 3 weeks before I harvested the other plants. You can see how much smaller it is than the other cloves, but it cured beautifully. It is actually ready to use.

Some people braid their harvest, but I’m just going to store mine in a garlic bag in a corner on the counter since it’s a small batch. It won’t take me long to use it when I make tomato sauce.

The newly harvested bulbs will cure for 3 – 4 weeks. Once they turn white and achieve a covering like paper on the garlic bulb, I’ll shake off the dirt. I cut off the roots and stem with gardening shears and they’re ready to go. Some gardeners leave their harvest in the garden to cure. But, I brought mine in the house and allowed them to cure in the kitchen. Stay tuned for a post on what it looks like after it has cured. Do you plant garlic? How do you allow your plants to cure?

Angry Sam – Tales of a Bullied Kid (Kids Book Reviews)

September 6, 2018 by Rhonda Gales Leave a Comment

School is back in session, and it will bring problems to parents around the world. Parent will encounter kids not wanting to go to school, missing the school bus, forgetting their lunch, detention, protesting homework, and being bullied.

When school starts, I start adding books to my kids book reviews list. Furthermore, I suggest that you either add them to your kids suggested reading list or by-pass them. I’m always on the look out for books that will help our children with esteem and other social issues. Bullying affects children’s self-esteem and can lead to social issues. I’m a huge advocate on the prevention of bullying because my daughter was bullied when she was in high school. As a result, I try to give advice on how other mothers can handle and survive this painful experience.

I came across the book Angry Sam. It’s a perfect book to help teach your child about being bullying, discuss the emotions that come with being bullied and finding a solution.

The book revolves around Samuel Woodhouse. Sam is a second grader at Castlegrove Primary in London. He is a video guru and loved watching Kung Fu movies. But, some of the older kids had different plans for Sam. Audrey was the meanest girl in the school. Her and her sidekicks Dean and Gordon were school bullies. Sam dreaded going to school. They kicked him, tore his clothes, threw food on him, and stole his games.

Next, Sam kept his torment a secret. He didn’t tell his mom or dad. He thought the bullies would eventually find someone else to pick on and life would be good at Castlegrove. Sam continues to show up at school. However, he’s losing control of his emotions. He starts plotting revenge. The continued abuse leaves him with no other option but to fight back.

Every parent should read this book, so they can gain insight on bullying. Read it with young children. Furthermore, if they are a little older let them read the book alone. Afterwards, ask questions and give them advice on how they can handle the mistreatment.

Most importantly, Sam kept his torment a secret from his parents and teachers. Your child could be keeping their pain from you too. However, let your child know they aren’t alone. It’s okay for them to tell a teacher or you. Be sure to add Angry Sam to your list.

Letter C Activities: C is for Carrot

September 3, 2018 by Rhonda Gales Leave a Comment

Welcome to our Letter C printables in our preschool/kindergarten fruit and vegetable series. Our picky eaters may be receptive to our Letter C word this week. This week’s word is Carrot.

If your unfamiliar with our fruit and vegetable series, they are activities that are designed to familiarize children with a fruit or vegetable that starts with each letter of the alphabet. Did your child enjoy the Letter A and Letter B activities? If you missed them, you can download them the Letter A activities here and the Letter B activities here. Additionally, the printables will help them with cutting skills, writing each letter in the word, and eventually working their way to writing the actual word of the week.

Have the kids find the fruit/vegetables in the magazines or seed catalogues. They can practice cutting and pasting the picture on to a piece of paper. I requested catalogues from various on-line seed sites. They are wonderful for this activity, and they are free. If you have other magazines that you can use, that’s fine too. Pictures are great visuals for kids.

They can also color our carrot coloring page. Did you know that carrots can be orange, but also yellow, purple, black, red, and white.

Additionally, talk about how carrots can be used. For example, with dips, soup or feeding animals. Use our Carrot Fact Sheet to come up with a few other interesting facts to share. For example, discuss how carrots are different colors. You can also discuss the animals who love carrots.

Also, fix a snack using carrots for our Letter C activities. Making food fun can help eliminate picky eater problems too. Whip up a batch of hummus and dip carrot sticks in it. How about a carrot smoothie or a piece of carrot cake. Letter C is for Carrots. Also, stay tuned for Letter C Snack ideas.

Finally, you can download more of our Letter C activities here. Our next lesson will be Letter D Activities: D is for Dates. You may also like our carrot Kindergarten Matching Activities.

Battling Boredom: How to Keep Your Kids Entertained

August 29, 2018 by Rhonda Gales Leave a Comment

Every parent will need to find ways to keep their children entertained. Unfortunately, kids can grow bored quickly with the same routine each day. Especially, when they are young. So, you might also want to provide your kids with healthier activities. Healthy activities are better than spending all their time on a smartphone, tablet or TV.

Thankfully, there are some superb activities for kids. Check out our tips on how to keep your kids entertained:

A Trip to the Movies

One activity that’s bound to make your children smile is a trip to the movies. Let them snack on popcorn as they immerse themselves into an animated movie. We’re sure mom and dad will probably love it too!

Organize a Play Date

Add play dates to your list of how to keep your kids entertained. If you want to entertain your child while strengthening their friendships, organize a play date. Contact one of their friend’s mothers about the best day for your kids to get together. Building friendships is important. So is laughing, talking, and playing.

You could even take turns hosting a play date. This option will give each parent time to relax or catch up on chores. Additionally, you can enjoy a little downtime yourself while the kids play.

Watch Live Entertainment

Allow your kids to enter a whole new world by booking tickets to a live entertainment show. For example, Disney on Ice or a concert for their favorite singer or band. Check your local listings for kid-friendly shows being held in your area. You may be able to find the perfect event for your little one in your town or city at Ticket Sales.

Bake Cakes or Cookies

Baking delicious cookies or cakes is the ultimate activity for a rainy day. And, a great way on how to keep your kids entertained. The kids will be excited to try the treats fresh from the oven. And, they’ll also have fun learning how to make cookie dough or cake batter.

Turn it into an educational experience. They will learn to listen, follow instructions and master the art of patience. You can also help them to unleash their creative side by experimenting with multi-colored icing, sprinkles, and cookie cutters. Most importantly, the activity could help them develop a passion for baking or cooking.

Build a Fort

Next, the moment your children start complaining they are bored, you should encourage them to build a fort. Their bedroom is the perfect place. They will need to gather blankets, pillows, chairs, and sheets so that they can create a cozy, private space.

They will have fun building the fort with you. And, they will also enjoy their unique hangout once it’s done. It’s a great way to keep them occupied until bedtime.

Enjoy a Day at the Beach

Last, if the sun is shining, grab the kids, beach towels, sunscreen and make your way to a local beach. Your children will love building sun castles and splashing in the water. We suggest that also pack a picnic for the whole family. The kids will love it.

How to Live the Life of a Snowbird

August 26, 2018 by Rhonda Gales 2 Comments

life of a snowbird

It’s a common dream among retirees: living the life of a “snowbird.” Living the life of a snowbird is when you have another home in a place that’s warmer than where they are now. For example, maybe in Florida, Arizona, or California where they escape the winter and enjoy a few months in the sun. However, as David Hughes states in U.S. News & World Report, having a vacation home is more than an extended vacation. You need to consider whether you want to buy a place or rent one. Furthermore, determine who is going to maintain it while you’re away. Also, plan how and when the utilities will be turned on and off, and more.

Keep in mind that this is different from buying or building a place where you will move to after you retire. Your vacation home is a temporary residence that you buy or rent. You look after it as if it is a normal house. That means finding a place and getting it inspected. If you’re renting you can check it out yourself. However, if you’re purchasing find out what needs to be fixed. After closing, you can have fun decorating and furnishing it.

If you want the life of a snowbird, take a look at these three tips.

Make Sure You Can Afford It

Certified Financial Planner Dana Sippel states you do not want to move into a place you can’t afford. Do some research on available properties in the areas where you want to have a vacation home. Figure out how much it would cost per month to have it. You should factor in all utilities (including Internet, cable, or satellite costs), neighborhood or condominium association fees, property taxes, estimated repair costs for any ongoing maintenance, and property management fees.

Keep in mind that taxes and services as well as the cost of living may be more expensive in the area where you want to move. Also, figure out where you can save money. Bundling insurance with your current homeowners policy may help reduce expenses. All in all, make sure you can afford this second home before make an offer.

Make Sure You Can Get To It

Before you enter the life of a snowbird, consider whether you’re purchasing or renting the property. According to Money, the typical vacation home is about 180 miles from the primary residence. Unless you plan to cut yourself off from everyone, you’ll want your family to be able to join you. So, follow this rule: if it takes two hours to get to it, yes. If it takes two days and several plane changes, no.

Make Sure It Fits Your Lifestyle

It is essential to consider whether it actually fits into your lifestyle. If you’re used to an active social scene with a diverse group of people, will you find something like that around your vacation home? Likewise, if you actively volunteer for social agencies, a church, or events around your home, will you find the same opportunities at your second residence? According to Mike Lewis of Forbes, the average person has about 20 years of life remaining after retirement. Are you positive you’ll enjoy spending half the year in a different location? If you’re unsure, it might be best to rent a vacation home at first to see if you’ll actually like spending time there.

If you decide that a vacation home comfortably fits into your finances get your wings as a snowbird.
