Happy Father's day, it is a great day here today. The plants and I are loving the low 80's and sun.

I am growing carrots for the first time. Do I need to trim the top growth? It looks like it is starting to flower, is this normal?

Harvested some cukes and dill. I am making some fermented sour pickles with garlic and dill. One of my favorite types of pickles. I am using Stickman's recipe of 20 grams salt per quart of water.

Lastly, my daughter wanted to spend the day by the pool and asked for brisket. Sounds like a perfect day to me.

Happy Fathers Day Terry!
 
Brisket is a fave down here for sure ;) So how do you cook yours?
 
Plants are looking great!

Thanks Scott, you too. I just use a dry rub that I found on amazingribs.com and smoked it over some sour apple wood that the 'Bum sent me. This one went for about 10 hours.
 
The weather has been great here and everuthing is doing real well. Here are some pictures.

One thing I love about Brisket is the sammies afterwards, thin sliced on some fantastic bread with Swiss, Mayo, and salt and pepper. We freeze the leftovers into meal sized servings. Now I'm hungry! ;)

Nice pics!

All looks well up your way for sure. You're way ahead of me, but watch me shine (ma nature willing) come October-November.

The garlic:

The grow period for me is about 9 months usually, from dirt day to picking. So if you're thinking you're close, pull one you're happy with and see how large the head is. I like golf ball size or better. But...being I just pulled mine in the last week or so, you may be 2 weeks or more out. That, and for me, in most years except for this really wet year, where I was afraid of rotting, I always let 1/3 of the crop have the tops fall over. That was my signal that they were done.

Then:

No sunlight drying, they hate it. I built a rack I keep on the back porch and tie nylon string to 4 or 5 heads 3 to 5"s up the stem and let the uppers turn completely brown. You want the "feel" to be like paper where the top of the stem and the head connect when you trim the roots and the tops off. Then they are cured. If you store them early, they will rot. How do I know this? :banghead: :shh:

Yeah, lost an entire crop one year...live and learn...and green shown when you cut a top off means you're too early to store them. If done correctly, you never run out of your garden grown Garlic. Last years harvest is just now drying out, and or sprouting. But we now have new!
 
Everything looks great!   I'm underway but seem so far behind.
 
You've had great success with the Lindberg plants you have.  Your germination results seem to be the norm from what I'm seen.  I had the same results as you.  I have Jobito, Margariteno and Rosito Red plants (albieit far behind yours)  and I failed to germinate Llaneron, Pepon and Rosito Yellow.  I am really interested in trying the Llaneron so am  particularly disappointed with that.  I don't recall seeing anyone with germination of that variety.
