Yep.. the garlic is a heavy feeder... I have a few new varieties to try.. On those planters/retaining wall I put in.. I got some crocus.. the ones that are used for saffron spice :) to try.. zone 6.. which is us .. but not a guarantee eh :)) I will use as planter or two and mulch heavily.. Garlic.. I love about it is that is pretty well pest free.. You might want to try garlic chives also.. (also known as Chinese Chives..) pretty in the garden.. especially planted with golden oregano.. both perennials and aesthetically pleasing as well as very yummy...

Enjoy your tree... I just have two more narvest-related chores in the kitchen left -- making blackberry jam to free up some space in my freezer, and then filling that space with bean/vegetable soup. This will happen over the next few weeks. BTW, something new I have started doing the last few years is to, rather than discarding my kitchen scraps in the green bin, I bury them them in my garden beds, deep enough that the beasts will not smell them and dig them up. It's the 'green' to go with the 'brown' leaf litter I spread on top of the beds this time of year. (The leaf little comes from last year's leaves, which I keep in a pile and turn over and chop up over the next summer so they are ready for use in the fall. As you can probably tell I use no power tools at all; everything is done by hand.) LC
