After pumpkin harvest comes garlic planting.
We ordered Music, German Red, Purple Italian and Spanish Roja from Peaceful Valley Farm Supply in Grass Valley, CA, not to far away from where Jeff's Uncle Frank lives. After deciding 160 plantings were more than enough for a day's work, I handed the overabundance over to willing gardeners. Happy to report, California garlic will be popping up this spring in Batavia, Burr Ridge and Hinsdale.

Brian and Janie, Guy and Elodie arrived on Sunday to help put the garlic to bed for the winter. We threw hay on the field in mounded heaps so the garlic stays warm til spring.
We enjoyed a brisk Autumn day at the farm with Bella and Coco

| Guy quickly took to the ATV |
 |
| Then invited Elodie to join him |
 |
| Brian took Coco and Bella in for a rest |

| Jeff and Dan found time to work on the tractor |
