breakfast and garlic harvest

Breakfast this morning (Father’s Day) was a simple affair.  We wandered to the top of the hill and picked a couple containers of blueberries and blackberries.

The other ingredients were steel cut oats (pressure cooked 7 mins), flax for omega 3 fats, soy milk and a spoon of my own honey.

And it tasted good and was filling.

Also this morning, early, I finished harvesting my garlic.  May have left it a bit late since some of the stalks had detached and there are now garlic cloves in the ground for next year.  I segregated the larger garlic (includes hard- and soft-neck) and these are not for eating but for planting in the fall.

I will allow the garlic to dry under cover of the carport and then, as I did last year, I will string them up in bundles and hang from the carport rafters.  I had less rotten garlic this way than when I had stored in mesh bags in the basement.
