Ducks ALIVE in 2025!

Here you go--
The first photo is where I threw all of the Flowerbug garlic, a few days ago, small cloves, that I had neglected into soil, into a pot and I have kept it saturated so as to keep them alive.
2nd photo--
These are a few tiny cloves of Italian garlic that I bought a few years ago. Sadly, not much left Harvested, BUT, I left several bulbs in the ground in the front bed, so they aren't all gone.
3rd photo--
These are small cloves harvested last year, probably the Amish garlic from a few years ago, some are alive, some are dead. They sit in a plastic container that had cake frosting.
4th photo--
These are garlic seeds and bubules (which appear much larger than they are,) and they are currently stored in a jar that had yeast.
IF I get the sprouted garlic AND the viable cloves outside in the ground this weekend, I could probably start the seeds for winter sowing, especially since they would need a few years to get going.

I am SURE that many here could have written this article. Still, it is succinct and worth mentioning.

Start A Seed Swap In Your Community

Seed swaps can be as small as a few friends in someone’s kitchen or an area-wide affair at the community center. But what is a seed swap, and how can you get one started? A seed swap is simply a Gathering of Gardeners, and perhaps wanna-be gardeners, who want to trade seeds. It’s a swap meet...

Garlic French bread coming in the future!

Or some yummy homemade Alfredo sauce over pasta.

Here is a sidequest. Went to PT today and discovered that in my surgery the surgeon drilled holes in my femur and tibia and literally pounded in about 10 inches into each of them, connected with my new patella.
Honestly ALL of my pain has been muscular. PT asked me if I could feel or was irritated by the new patella (kneecap.)
Not a bit.

Watching the weather. Although it will be almost 60 tomorrow, I have decided to plant garlic on Dec. 28th, Post holiday and 53 degreesF.
Today I separated the live cloves from the dead ones. I tossed the dead stuff in my burn barrel, and I consolidated the 2 containers of cloves, bubules and seeds into one in another and it is in my bedroom with the seed cabinet.

Sounds like your knee surgeon had used regular hardware tools for all that drilling and pounding to get you back on your feet. the million dollar man will be jealous of your new updated joint, and thank goodness bones have little nerve pain it’s the tissue around them that reports all the discomfort. Stay safe and strong this is just a moment in life. By 2025 this will be a faint memory. Sending good healing vibes your way. Happy trails ahead.

Glad to hear you’re going to PT. Soon you’ll be dancing in the streets…

Good news! All PT's and nurses say that I am making good progress!
Measure on my right knee bend yesterday was 124 degrees!!
So, I have made it to the 120 degree threshold on time.
Also, Surgeon is meeting me on January 7th to schedule surgery for my LEFT knee.
PT yesterday we were discussing whether I am having greater trouble with my left knee and leg.
I said that I don't know if my mind is telling me I am having trouble, OR, I am really having trouble.

PT will make a huge difference, sounds like you are doing great!
