Late Night Garlic Harvesting

We got most of the Fergansky harvested. Afterward I cooked garlic bread on the Coleman burner.
My sister Cathy came out to help, along with Abdullah and his friend Gustavo. Gustavo said that this was one of Abdullah's first visits to a farm. He was a great help. By the time we took this shot it was getting late, hence the flashlight strapped to my head.

Major weeding with the farmall

The farmall is a tractor with tines - metal teeth - that dig just below the soil surface and uproot weeds. My sister Cathy helped me out.

My chef stint at The Dep

It went very well. The trick is to not let the filling over-cook. Garlic sausages from Green Gate Farm. Bannock from Tea & Bannock (on Gerrard). The pasta came from Pasta Casereccia in Vaughan. Garlic truffles made by The Spice Chef.
