I'll just list whats going on: 1. Girl broke up with her bf for about 3-4 months already (we have been friends for about a year) 2. She recently asked me to go out with her and several times i asked her to go out also. 3. I bought her a present for her bday and sent her flowers to her workplace on her bday. 4. She started to avoid me... and be less in contact with me now... Should I: A) Let her be? Move the hell on... B) Go for it C) Other suggestions?
First, choose which varieties of garlic you want to grow. Garlic is divided into two basic types: hardneck and softneck. Hardneck varieties grows best in climates with cold winters and develop a delicately flavored flower (also called a scape) in spring. Softneck varieties grow well in a range of climates, mature quickly, and are often more productive than hardnecks. Plant garlic in the fall about four weeks before your soil typically freezes. Choose a spot with full sun (six to eight hours per day) and well-drained soil, such as a raised bed. You can also grow garlic in large whiskey barrel sized containers. Garlic takes eight to nine months to mature so choose a spot where it can grow undisturbed during that time period. Plant the individual sections, or cloves, of the bulb. Each clove grows into a bulb. Discard any soft or shriveled cloves, as larger, plump, firm cloves develop into the best bulbs. Prior to planting, mix one tablespoon of baking soda in a quart jar of water and then soak the cloves in this solution for one hour to prevent fungal disease. Using a hoe, make a two-inch deep furrow in the soil. Plant the cloves pointy end up, space them four to six inches apart and rows 12 to 18 inches apart. Bury the cloves two inches deep and then top the soil with a six-inch layer of organic mulch, such as shredded leaves or straw. Green shoots should appear in about four to six weeks and then cease to grow during the winter months. When the garlic begins to actively grow in spring, pull back the mulch and top dress the soil with one inch of compost. Then, replace the mulch around the garlic to prevent weeds and to conserve soil moisture. Garlic needs an inch of water per week during spring and summer growth, so you may need to water if Mother Nature doesn't provide enough rain. Spray the growing stalks with diluted fish emulsion every two weeks from the time growth resumes in spring through May. Harvest the garlic in early summer when the bottom leaves begin to yellow. Use a garden fork to loosen the soil around the bulbs, being careful not to pierce them. Pull the bulbs up and gently remove any excess soil. Lay the bulbs in a hot, dry, shaded place for two to three weeks to cure. Curing increases the length of time the bulbs will last in storage. You'll know the bulbs are ready for storage when the skins are papery dry and tight around the bulb. At this point, trim the roots and braid the stems or trim off all but 1 1/2 inches of the stem if you want to store your bulbs in ventilated plastic bags. Garlic lasts in storage for six to eight months, provided that you don't eat it all up before then!
@ Kontra, Thats quite random! Love your avatar. -rockon @ DEEE, you sent flowers to her work place? I'm very touched. But looks like she may have started another relationship with someone or back with her ex or maybe doesnt want to go out with you anymore. You could contact her again, give her a call, ask whats going on and what she wants, but you want to do in in a friendly manner, don't go into too detail because you want to leave yourself some face. She maybe just wants to be friends only...... Well if you want to lose her as a friend forever, you can certainly go mad on the phone.
Like two weeks ago when i last saw her she asked me to go on a trip with her and her nieces and nephews and family... but I guess your right peppermint i should just move on leave it be and have her as a friend i guess....
