We learned a lot about different things this week. Garlic, for instance. It's planted in the fall and harvested in July in this area. We helped the Charlestown Farm get their garlic out of the ground and in for pick up. Garlic bulbs have tall green tops, but the cloves of garlic grow in the ground. We picked them, put the bunches together, and took them in on a wagon.
Garlic is a condiment, you add it to foods to make them tastier. It has a strong taste and smell; all our hands reeked of it when we were done. Garlic is also a natural remedy; it can keep you healthy if you eat it. But don't kiss anyone!
