Peppers and more Garlic

Today I finally harvested the McEwen’s Red garlic from the garden.   This is the garlic that I planted from bulbils in the spring along with Polish White.  In the spring when I planted the bulbils I read that in the first year they should form a single clove.  In the second year if you plant that single clove it should fully form into a full head of garlic.  This is a picture of the 13 heads of garlic that I harvested. 

Of the 13 heads of garlic only 3-4 have a single clove the rest have multiple cloves around 6-10 per head.  Some of these heads actually are the same size as the garlic that I grew from cloves!

The polish white still needs to be harvested but while I was digging up the others I noticed that the polish white is just sending up scapes now.  I took the few scapes that had formed and will give it another week to die off a little more.  They are going to be pretty green but I guess we will see what they are like.   Eat the small ones and save a few of the big ones for replanting at thanksgiving.  Those are the scapes in the picture below.

The peppers have done very well this year and below are a picture of the Hungarian banana peppers.  They are smaller than the ones I have been getting at the market but we are also a couple hours farther north than the ones I have been getting.
