Saying "no" to a baby shower

While both my husband and I are only in our thirties, we have spent years decluttering, 

purging, and generally downsizing our amount of stuff. I firmly believe that 

the fewer things you keep, the more special they are. 

Garlic Harvest - 2012

-

With everything going on, this year's garlic harvest kind of snuck up on us. We had a couple meals of scapes, but having three different varieties of garlic meant scapes of different sizes maturing at different times. (for last year's scapes go here) My dear husband rescued some slightly woody scapes and made an amazing garlic scape pesto (yum!) and a couple weeks ago, pulled in all the garlic.

Here they are curing (gettin' their skins on) in the kitchen. We should have a good amount for planting and plenty for eating. We'll see what is our favorite and in a couple months make sure to plant plenty for next year.
