As promised I went out to the garden this week to check on the garlic we planted this fall.  I was pleasantly surprised, after pulling back the straw I discovered sprouts!

Here’s another shot of three sprouts in a row.  It took me a minute to figure out this was actually the garlic, I’m guessing it is a white sprout instead of green because we had it covered in straw to protect the garlic from the cold.

We planted a cover crop mixture provided by our community garden, I believe it is hairy vetch and a couple of other types.

Jacob had a good time getting outside and exploring.

He is looking so big compared to pictures I took of him last summer!
