Garlic thriving in the food forest; harvesting scapes
Time to harvest the scapes on the garlic in the food forest so the plants can put their energy into growing the bulbs instead of flowers. Looking forward to garlic scape pesto and meat marinades.

Weeding garlic is simultaneously harvesting food for rabbits
With the explosion in spring growth comes weeding. Thankfully when I weed, I am simultaneously harvesting. In this case, weeding the garlic in the food forest is harvesting food for the rabbits. Been pulling three 5gal buckets of weeds a day for the last several days. Additionally, when I feed my rabbits, they fertilize the cannabis garden because I plant the cannabis in the rabbit colony. So by weeding the garlic, I'm feeding both the rabbits and the cannabis. Integrate rather than segregate to catch and store energy!

The nice thing about garlic is that I plant it in late summer, so now that the tiny house is complete I found some time to put some sheep manure packed straw down in preparation for planting.
