The Shaman's Promise

Garlic in April

Four-inch tall Shaman garlic sprouts thrust from the ground where the sheep overwintered in 2007-2008.  Last December, a year after the flock had been quartered there, Shaman cloves were planted in the rich mixture of soil, hay refuse and droppings. The sheep build fertile soil for the garlic.  Next December we will plant where the flock overwintered this year—a different place on the property.  Round and round the sheep and garlic go.

Look for Shaman garlic in mid June.
