Waiting a bit longer for the rest of the garlic, as the two next scapes aren't quite fully up yet, and there still aren't three brown leaves at the bottom.

FOY: Harvested one volunteer garlic
Harvested one of the volunteer garlic from last year's elephant garlic bed. Woo hoo, this one was a very nice size and had cloves.
GA: Spooned all onions
I've never ever "spooned" onions before but learned about it recently (though a random YT video I think) so decided to do that. Just used my finger to ring around each onion to loose things and try to expose the bulb (most have started to bulb out).
Some of them, the ground is SO hard, like cement, once you get below the few cms of compost. Next year I definitely want to add chopped straw to the soil when tranplanting, to help have a softer soil.

Started rutabaga in PT
First time trying rutabaga. I'll start them in PTs, then put the seeds into the garden (GA) -- some where the pulled bolted cauliflower was, others in random spots probably.

FOY / GA: First zuke of the year harvested
Several of the GA zukes are looking great and harvested the first zuke today. None of of the four backyard zukes are though -- all looking pretty puny.
