Vampires, Retreat!

Ah yes, the long wait does pay off. 

I HAD to pull some out and check, I couldn't wait any longer, I was Orpheus and took a little peek before I was supposed to...whoops! 

But now I see what is happening underground! The garlic is growing. The little piece of garlic I put beneath the soil 5 months ago has taken the shape of any vampire's worst enemy and any cook's best friend. 

Garlic will be here shortly and I will braid its luscious hair and hang the braid in my kitchen with great pride. It will be sauteed, baked, fried, dried and cooked into bread. The possibilities are endless and I will exhaust them all. 

Garlic, please, grow wild, grow strong, grow on!
