How to Plant Garlic in Michigan: A Beginner's Fall Gardening Guide

Image
How to Plant Garlic in Michigan A simple beginner-friendly guide to planting garlic in Michigan Zone 6, including when to plant, how deep to plant cloves, winter care, and when to harvest. Garlic is one of my favorite things I have tried growing because it feels almost too easy. I planted garlic for the first time two falls ago because a neighbor gave me a few extra bulbs. I did not have a big plan. I did not know much about garlic. I just separated the cloves, tucked them into my raised garden bed, covered them with mulch, and hoped for the best. Then spring came, and little green shoots started popping up. I was so excited.

Drying Fresh Herbs in an Air Fryer Tutorial: How I Preserve My Garden All Winter

Image
Drying Fresh Herbs in the Air Fryer A simple way I preserve homegrown herbs from my Michigan garden so I can keep using them after summer is over. One of the best little joys of gardening is being able to use something you grew yourself. Last year, I started drying some of my homegrown herbs in my air fryer, and it worked better than I expected. I tried it with chives and thyme first, and I loved how simple it was. This year, I would like to add basil to the mix too. I am not preserving huge amounts of food or doing anything fancy. I just like finding small ways to make the garden last a little longer. Drying herbs is perfect for that because it does not take much time, and it feels so satisfying to see little jars of homegrown herbs ready for cooking. Why I Use an Air Fryer to Dry Herbs Air fryers are not just for crispy potatoes. I...
