Jeff and Jonathan discuss the ins and outs of planting and harvesting garlic
This week, Jeff and Jonathan are talking about mosquitoes, focusing on their surprising scarcity in Alaska. They explore the declining mosquito population in the region, attributing it to warming temperatures. The conversation then shifts to dragonflies, a common predator of mosquitoes and other small insects. It also happens to be one of Alaska’s state insects!
After a break, the discussion moves to techniques for hardening off plants in spring or fall.
They conclude with an informative exploration of garlic cultivation, covering various types of garlic suitable for planting and share tips on how to help it flourish in the garden.
