It has been a good week for getting things in the mail…
Many thanks to Donna for being kind enough to send some elephant garlic cloves! 
They are now planted under my Enterprise and Evereste apple trees. Looking forward to seeing if they do as well as the other garlics and leeks in the orchard.
I also received several packets of seeds from a Japanese friend – pumpkins, shiso (perilla) and a type of tatsoi (I think). I’ve been interested in trying the kabocha type pumpkins for a number of years since a neighbor had rave reviews of them. The shiso will be a nice addition to our herb and salad garden. fun times with sushi ahead!
