Every season I think it's smart to look back on what you tried, like what we are assumptions

going into this spring or this coming summer and then as a season ends you look back and

say okay well was I right or was I not right what things didn't work that I thought would

work and what things did work that I just randomly tried and didn't even think about and so

that's what Jacques and I are going to do in today's episode I think some things that I'm

thinking of just off the top of my head Jacques is adding a lot more structure to the garden

this season helped us out a lot and also specifically with the success that I had in the

garden in the Brasco world it's really just not trying to fudge the planting timings yeah so

last year I think I just thought oh you know I can get away with more than most people can because

zone 10 B and you know you're still in a season you're still in a climate and you just did better

when you planted it when you were supposed to planted including the garlic I mean we had some of the

best garlic harvest I've ever had certainly it's the best garlic harvest I've ever had in my life

and that was garlic that was planted in November last season we planted the garlic in early February

right harvested it in mid June so yeah it was way way way way later and the garlic formation was

better now I'm not saying that our sort of modification didn't work last year remember we put it

in the fridge for three months yeah planted in February that actually works really well

still got some heads for sure oh yeah we got some we actually got probably 40 50 heads of garlic

just that this time we got 250 and they're all really well formed the most part absolutely so

that's some of the stuff that I'm looking back at what about you in your garden some of my things

are a classic problem for me which is I let things sit for too long so in particular I had a really

wonderful success with Brasco's also this year in particular with cauliflower but I had some

cabbages that I knew we're starting a bolt and for some reason I just let them sit for way too long
