Happy Friday. So I know I told you that I was going to be taking a break from these quick Q&A episodes on Friday, but something came up in one of my questions in a Facebook group that I knew that I needed to address and it actually comes at a perfect time because it's about garlic. If you are not growing garlic, please let me encourage you to grow garlic. It's one of my

favorite things to grow, to be honest with you, and for a lot of different reasons. And fall is the
