Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garlic grow?

The garlic

is giving new meaning to the word "contrary."
 Compared to the rest of the garden,

it is growing magnificently,

(thank you).

One week ago

And today:

"Ta Da," I say, in a bragging way.

Goes to show you, while some of us turn and run in the face of abnormally cold temperatures and ice pellet storms, the garlic just continues on and gets the job done.

Sometimes contrary is not a bad thing.

Go Team Garlic!
