It happens every August, the freak out. I walk around the farm and I see all of those projects I had such high hopes for. Painting the barn, redoing a bit of lawn, fix the pond, trim the hedges...blah blah blah, there just isn't enough time left in the summer to do it all.I took this photo of my garlic last week.
I don't harvest my garlic, I just watch it grow...I know I'm not supposed to let it flower like this but they're just so stinking cute. I really wanted to pick the scapes and use them is some kind of fancy dish, maybe even pickle some - I have a recipe saved on my computer.
Shucks, another thing to add to the August freak-out list.
The old Shelly wouldn't have taken this photo, at least I can share the pretty flowering garlic with blog-land..hey man, I might even dig some up tomorrow, you just never know.

I can't believe I'm saying this - that GARLIC is beautiful!
Garlic - who knew except you!
Great photo of it.
I love garlic flowers, but you don't want to add them to a bouquet unless a vampire is coming for dinner. However, they make lovely potato soup garnish. Have you ever tasted one? Yup. Garlic.
Oh, they're pretty in salad, too!
I love garlic. But I would let it bloom too. Just too pretty not to.
Beautiful! You know you can sell that to a floral wholesaler and make some money!
Let it all go and take pictures, the projects will wait.
A beautiful blog you have, I love flowers.....so I find the layout very appealing.
I never knew garlic had such beautiful flowers. I want to grow some now. I think this is supposed to be planted in fall? Great picture
I never knew garlic flowered like that either!
I'm freaking out a bit too if that makes you feel any better. I started a major purge and re-organize the basement. This includes my office, the seasonal closet (decor for all holidays) - and a huge room full of boxes of misc. and more misc.
So now I have crap all over the place and don't know what I'm doing lol
