Our seed stock was acquired from Great Lakes family farm near the Grand Bend, Lake Huron, Ontario. </p><p><b>Description </b>: Full sun, Mid-season, purple stripe type, long storing, Pungent and really tall garlic</p><p>Allium sativum ssp ophioscorodon ‘Duganski’</p><p>Light Requirement: Full Sun</p><p>Growing Zone: 3-7</p><p>Harvest: Mid Summer</p><p>Plant Spacing: 10-15 cm or 4-6"</p><p>Plant Depth: 5-8 cm or 2-3"</p><p>Plant Height: 45-60 cm or 18-24"</p><p>This is a beautiful garlic with an amazing flavour, and comes in large bulb sizes. The cloves of this garlic are violet-tinged and with a purple outer wrapper. The flavour of this garlic can be described as being fiery, but will mellow out with a pleasant aftertaste. </p><p>Duganski is a hardneck garlic variety, produces large bulbs, strong pungent flavor, and with cloves that are purple. This variety is a robust cultivar, grows taller than most varieties, has wider leaves, larger scapes and matures mid-season.</p><p>Plant the garlic bulb before the ground freezes. Pick a well-drained, rich, organic garden bed to plant into. Plant the pointed end of the clove up, 5-8 cm (2-3″) deep and 10-15 cm (4-6″) apart. Lightly cover with soil and water thoroughly. Cover with a layer of mulch such as leaves or straw to provide insulation from fluctuating temperatures in winter and spring. Remove the mulch in early Spring or keep it for weed control. </p><p> When the garlic breaks through the soil the following Spring it is recommended to add an all purpose fertilizer.</p><p>In late Spring snip the scapes from the head of the garlic plant to channel the energy to the bulb formation. Scapes are a delicious early season garlic treat.</p><p>The Garlic is ready to harvest when the leaves of the plant are 3/4 yellow and start to die back. Lift the soil around the garlic bulb before trying to remove the garlic from the soil. Pull the garlic from the soil and place the garlic in non-direct sunlight with good airflow to allow the garlic to dry for 7-10 days.</p><p> After the garlic has cured you can trim the small roots on the bottom of the garlic and remove one layer of skin.

"Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We
must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future
generations. For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners, and consumers who want
an alternative, we pledge that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically
engineered seeds or plants. The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside
of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses
great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats. We
feel that genetically engineered varieties have been insufficiently tested
prior to public release. More research and testing are necessary to further
assess the potential risks of genetically engineered seeds. Further, we wish to
support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, genetically
diverse agricultural ecosystems, and ultimately healthy people and
communities."<o:p></o:p></span></p>sweetwilliamfarmshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09963927479397632813noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-234726119661269544.post-61078498051992959072021-01-12T19:35:00.004-08:002021-01-13T20:32:17.388-08:00SeedList2021<p> January 12, 2021</p><p>As farmers, we grow and many varieties of vegetables. We test, we gather data, we collaborate and share our seeds with fellow gardeners in Ottawa. </p><p>Our farmer license allows us to get access to wholesale seeds, and oftentimes, we have more than enough for our acreage. As a result, we gladly share our seeds with our community in Ottawa. We believe in the power of community, sharing, and growing food together. </p><p>We also believe in collaborative work to practice regenerative farming practices. We believe in Landcare practices that enrich the soil for future generations. We look at a holistic approach to the mineral and water cycle on the farm. We re-use cardboard as weed suppression layers, we collect pumpkin and vegetable peels to feed earthworms, deers, wildlife, and eventually continue to enrich organic matter to feed our plants. We plant cover crops to keep the farm green and prevent soil erosion. We gather leaves and branches to create compost and use in our garden plots to conserve moisture. We have community farmers, learning from each other to promote food production, production technique, cooking knowledge, and saving seeds. </p><p>By buying our seeds, you are helping us further our mission to regenerate an old homestead farm, to raise money for our non-profit endeavors such as growing food for our local food bank, women's shelter, and children's garden. We also promote employment opportunities for teens, students, women, GLBTQ community members. We offer workshops, farm walks, and mini-workshops (when allowed). </p><p>Please support our local Seed Producers here in Ottawa: Gretas Organics, Bird and Bee Seed Company. They are our mentors and friends, and they supply us with unique heirloom seeds that we continue to grow. </p><p><br /></p><p>FAQ: What happens when you are not happy with your seed purchase?</p><p> We will make it right, we can give you more seeds, we can give you a different variety to try, and we can invite you to our workshops. Our goal is to create a collaborative community to grow, cook, save seeds, and share. </p><p>You have extra seedlings? You have way too many?</p><p> No problem, come and see us and plant it in the Foodbank garden.

As we can recall, the last farmers in this land were here in the 1950s and record never showed any farm operated here. Whoever has rented the old yellow house, they live here and just enjoyed the fallow fields.</p><p> Burdock grows abundantly and never harvested. The area where the "foodbank garden" and "childrens garden" is full of them. I am excited for so many food source. The leaves are huge, these leaves remind me of Rhubarb. Even Kyle mentioned it that it looks like Rhubarb, he found these plants abundantly growing near the fallen willow tree. I went and scouted the area, and notice that it was clumps of burdock. I know the long taproot will be huge, and I saved it for later use. </p><p>I started saving the seeds as well, its not difficult to save them because the burr with stick to your shirts, or your shoes to annoy you. So in winter, I walk the fields and save the seeds. </p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Lato; font-size: 20px; font-weight: 700;">In Japan, burdock has traditionally been an important source for food and medicine. Called “poor-man's potatoes,” it’s eaten as a vegetable called gobō. It was brought to Japan from China 1,000 or so years ago as a medicinal plant, but it didn’t become popular in the Japanese diet until the Edo period. Japanese breeders worked to domesticate burdock, and it is now considered a delicacy. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Lato; font-size: 20px; font-weight: 700;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Lato; font-size: 20px; font-weight: 700;">Sow in early spring or late fall, soaking the seeds before sowing. Plant ¼ inch deep, 12 inches apart, or grow in tall wooden boxes that allow the long root to develop. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Lato; font-size: 20px; font-weight: 700;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Lato; font-size: 20px; font-weight: 700;">It produces a large rosette of leaves and a large edible taproot in the first year. Burdock flowers the second year; it may become invasive.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Lato; font-size: 20px; font-weight: 700;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Lato; font-size: 20px; font-weight: 700;">Note: Dec 25, 2020, Friday around 6 degrees C . It was a green christmas, I visited the farm and went to a walk with Kieren and Karlina. It was actually warm and it was nice. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Lato; font-size: 20px; font-weight: 700;"><br /></span></p>sweetwilliamfarmshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09963927479397632813noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-234726119661269544.post-28447304830194563162020-11-19T07:53:00.003-08:002020-12-27T11:39:35.678-08:00Farm Closing and Gratitude for the season<p> November 19, 2020</p><p>We are cleaning the farm, putting away tools, making sure the plots are labeled.

We are along March Road. </p><p>If you miss our gate, you will hit the intersection of Herzberg Rd., just turn right on Herzberg, turn left into the Gilmore Parking lot, and come back. </p><p>As the place was abandoned for sometime, the yellow house in this drawing burned down in 2013, people drive by past. </p><p><br /></p><p>The old barn is a marker, but then when you see it, you are almost about to pass it.

Our soil type in Ottawa is mostly clay, that is what got to work on. Clay is a
rich soil, with lots of nutrients, but its particles cling together. It has its
challenge, when it is too dry, its like concrete. When it is too wet, it can
rot your garlic.</span></b></p>

loosening the soil. We added bags of compost: either you make your own, or few
bags from your garden center. We have use composted mushroom, composted manure,
and leave in the garden for a week to blend. Rain help to work it in, or water
your plot if it is small. <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

garlic will produce scapes and will produce flowers and seeds (bulbils). Cut
the scapes, use it like onion, it is delicious. If you left the scapes on, you
will not have big bulbs because the garlic energy is spent on producing seed,
and no big bulbs.</span></b></p>

July first week, right after Canada Day I inspect my garlic beds of Music,
usually the last left on the bottom starts turning brown. It is about week 2 or
3 of July when 3 leaves at the bottom are brown, then it is harvest time. Some
folks dig the garlic a little bit to expose the bulbs, and see if it looks
ready. How can you tell? Time and experience will – they must look firm and
well rounded.</span></b></p>

My background is in Earth Sciences and I am no stranger to digging data, experimenting, recording, measuring, analyzing and repeat until I get the desired result. I have access to laboratories, and along with my Nerdiness and thirst for knowledge, I have few nuggets to share. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Currently, we are organic farmers of a 10 acre of the 200 acres homestead farm that use to belong the Brennan's in the 1800s on 139 March Rd. We are growing mostly produce and vegetables and heirloom seeds. Our farmer principle is rooted in land stewardship: to grow what we eat, protect and nourish the soil, give back nutrients, reduce waste and community sharing and learning. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Not so useless facts about Garlic: </div><p></p><li>Cultivated in Mesopotamia (this area is now Iran) about 4,000 years ago.</li><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>1325 found in the tomb of Tutankhamun, well preserve</li><li>I find the illustration of a garlic from an old William Woodville, Medical Botany in 1793. </li><li>Ancient Medicinal Notes: Galen called garlic as cure-all</li><li>Avecena: 1025 Canon of Medicine - treatment for illness such as athritis, chronic cough, antibiotic for infectious diseases</li><li>Neckam: 12th century writer - palliative for heat and sun labor</li><li>Sydenham : 17th century - confluent for small pox</li><li><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">World War 1 (1914-18) and World War II (1939-1945) : an </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiseptic" style="background: none rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #0b0080; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Antiseptic">antiseptic</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> to prevent </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangrene" style="background: none rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #0b0080; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Gangrene">gangrene</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span></li></ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNn_XvBygd2UjhGXSZ2zwx0hEJAYcSYVNI5_gV1PmWxkE62RDgSSzYwy56BGeeQW28_aV9-s-t8QDMs-PtHtXFtFm2k49w-XKH2d3zLabG09tARgcoC5wBM67U1zkE1pT_5DzrDqISKZBX/s960/120343459_10102720292404915_3105607903188687906_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="732" data-original-width="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNn_XvBygd2UjhGXSZ2zwx0hEJAYcSYVNI5_gV1PmWxkE62RDgSSzYwy56BGeeQW28_aV9-s-t8QDMs-PtHtXFtFm2k49w-XKH2d3zLabG09tARgcoC5wBM67U1zkE1pT_5DzrDqISKZBX/s320/120343459_10102720292404915_3105607903188687906_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh36-P-9yWh2wzmo1vF4zd_UXUcYkS_ZDj8agG11Ew6tcxA-SbDkd0TmOHaS9iTXKnV3xyCL94yNPlKRJQpki22bn0FG0ziJBQMNilTDSADB_JclRQlIDhcQuNDASJtVxIhWGsv_fM8xnuh/s1316/120563889_10102723002623615_8393229082446437301_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="1316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh36-P-9yWh2wzmo1vF4zd_UXUcYkS_ZDj8agG11Ew6tcxA-SbDkd0TmOHaS9iTXKnV3xyCL94yNPlKRJQpki22bn0FG0ziJBQMNilTDSADB_JclRQlIDhcQuNDASJtVxIhWGsv_fM8xnuh/s320/120563889_10102723002623615_8393229082446437301_o.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqzj3TrngBvigmyPISobxH2xEQgmWa2RPnFBWJ_TcXGsiQCYUdPMe9p9byMxJVtlpzTtiJEklOQeKas-Gzp08tnF-EjQo92r0uHq-K_bZR3u2ZKvLFPx-qiwHLElYHJH6AXORdWOce0nA7/s1316/120800981_10102725679384365_7514175892934738352_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1316" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqzj3TrngBvigmyPISobxH2xEQgmWa2RPnFBWJ_TcXGsiQCYUdPMe9p9byMxJVtlpzTtiJEklOQeKas-Gzp08tnF-EjQo92r0uHq-K_bZR3u2ZKvLFPx-qiwHLElYHJH6AXORdWOce0nA7/s320/120800981_10102725679384365_7514175892934738352_o.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>hardneck-purple stripe-Duganski</b></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: #202122; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #202122; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #202122; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Garlic History: </span></span></div><div><span style="color: #202122; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Curious about Garlic History and How it get here in North America?

Thunder and lightning above our heads. It poured, it was dark. </div><div><br /></div><div>The change was so sudden from sunny to roaring thunder and strong rain drops.
