The Elephant Garlic has been harvested. We took it about a week earlier this year due to the excess moisture in our area the last two weeks. As it matures garlic stalks will begin to rot at the base if the soil is too wet. The first picture is two racks of three total we harvested. It's a good idea to let your garlic dry on the stalk for at least a week. We then trim it down to about 6 inches and remove the roots. It will then dry in this state for about two more weeks. It can then be left on a short stalk or completely trimmed down to the bulb. Most Elephant Garlic has very mild flavor and it's closely related to the Leek family. Many folks like the bigger cloves of elephant garlic, because their easier to slice up.

The German Soft Neck Garlic and Elephant Garlic are looking pretty good. It was planted on September 27th, 2025. The Elephant Garlic should be ready to pull in about three weeks and the German Soft Neck takes a few weeks longer. It takes another three weeks to dry and prepare for the farmers market. This is around 1300 plants.

I don't think I am cut out to be a farmer. Did anyone else get two inch hail today at there place? Thank the Lord, he spared my tomatoes, strawberries, garlic and potatoes. There was damage, but it could have been a lot worse. I did get away from the farmers market today at 11am before the storm hit. So I was able to keep my tent dry.

I like to encourage everyone to come out to the Ozark Living Expo 2026 "Shindig" at the Newton County Fairgrounds in Jasper, AR. on Saturday April 25th, 2026. If you like learning about self sufficiency and homesteading then you will love this gathering. There are many fascinating demonstrations and presentations this year. I was able to spend some time today with a few and was blown away by the talent and knowledge of this year presenters. I'm giving another talk on gardening in the Ozarks at 4pm tomorrow. Here are two pictures from Tuesdays, Jasper Farmers Market and today's tent at the "Shindig". I still have plenty of tomato, pepper and strawberry plants for sale as well.

I will be bringing about 15 heads of broccoli to the Jasper farmers market on Tuesday, April 14th. Their are lots of things happening all at once on the farm currently and to say we are busy would be an understatement. I've planted some tomatoes and potatoes and have over a thousand seedlings I'm preparing for the market and Newton County Ozark Living Expo "ShinDig" on April 24th and 25th at the Newton County Fairgrounds. Oh, and something red is starting to ripen.

The season begins, Friday, April 10th, is the start of the Jasper Farmers Market for 2026. I will be there around 9am to 1pm. I will not be there Saturday, because I will need to plant tomato plants on the farm. I will be there Friday morning with Purple Moon cauliflower and I will also have strawberry and stevia plants. I will harvest these that morning, it will be some of the freshest vegetables you will ever buy. If you like cauliflower you will love this variety.

It's time to plant strawberries. I have over 500 strawberry plants for sale. I'm asking $3 each or 100 for $275. This year I will have two varieties of June bearing strawberries, Flavorfest and Sonata. The Flavorfest are ready to plant now and the Sonata will be ready in two weeks. Here are some throwback pictures from 2023 and 2024. Strawberries in our area usually ripen around the middle of May.

Batten down the hatches. With heavy wind predicted and freezing temperatures the next two nights, I covered my newly planted strawberry plants under a heavy duty frost cloth. I just planted 260 strawberries here last week, a June bering variety called Flavorfest.
