Harvest and query

I lifted the garlic yesterday as it was laying over and looking ready. I didn't want to risk it getting wet with dew or rain. Pirate fixed a shelf back in the greenhouse so that we can still use the staging.

Further down the garden we have a mystery plant with small pink flowers.....


Please excuse the colours...that is borage just to the right, so that will give you a hint!
Any ideas?

  1. Beautiful garlic. Do you braid tops to hang for storage?

  2. How about a nice steak with garlic butter sauce!

  3. From the leaf arrangement I would guess it is a type of nettle. Maybe this one?

  4. None at all but like the look of the garlic - wise to lift it I think.
