Awesome, never owned ducks but from what I’ve read, they are nasty. Eventually I’d like to dig a pond on my property then I’ll consider ducks. I look at it this way, the bigger the garden that’s less grass I have to cut, plus you can’t eat grass.

Pillage, you can take the carrot sets that are bunched up and replant them. You have plenty of room in that row to do that.
Do I need to let them grow some more before doing that? Explain it to me like I'm an idiot.

Yes. Let them grow out about another inch and replant them. Most of them should do fine without any shock.

Looking good Blue. I'll post a pic soon of my new setup including my selfwatering buckets.

One week of growth on my Romaine. 
I’m gonna be eating salad sooner than I thought.

Picked the last of my summer garden today. Have turnips, kale, collards, carrots in the ground coming up and broccoli, lettuce in trays, going to plant spinach soon.

Got a new toy in the other day from Johnny’s seed. It’s a pole bender for low catipillar tunnels to keep frost off plants or as I’m going to use it to keep plants cool to prevent transplant shock.
Turnips and collards

Looks good!
I’ve got rows of yellow onion and carrots starting to poke through now.
Just stuck 3 1/2 rows of creole garlic in and impatiently waiting for those.
A handful of cauliflower and broccoli going as well. I didn’t realize how much room they take up.

The thing you need with garlic is patience. They are a slow growing, slow forming plant and it will be between 8-9 months before they are ready to harvest.
I grow garlic every year in one of my raised beds and it is in the ground by late October and I usually harvest it around June.
ETA: Not sure what you mean by 3 1/2 rows of garlic. How did you plant it as far as spacing between individual cloves and rows? Garlic grows very well with no more than 6 inches of space all around each plant. So they can be planted pretty compactly.

Just that I didn’t have the same amount in the last row as the others so I spaced it out more.

I’m waiting on my garlic bulbs to come in.

My garlic came in the mail on Friday going to build a raised bed for them

Jefferson Feed on Jefferson Hwy. and Central Ave. has loose garlic for sale to plant at $6 a lb.
I was just in there this morning and got some plants, seeds and onion sets for my garden.
I'll plant some of what I harvested from last falls garden. I usually put in about 125-150 cloves in my raised bed. and the other half of it is planted in beets.

You remember what kind of garlic is it? I bought creole red which does well in zone 9

No, I didn't bother to ask. Give them a call if interested. 733-8572 and ask for the gardening department.

I went there. Didn’t say what kind. I tried onion bulbs last year and they didn’t do well. This year I bought Texas grano onion seeds online. Just transplanted them into the beds. The shallot sets are almost ready to transplant. LSU AG states creole red garlic does well in our heat. We shall see. Bought a pound of garlic to plant

Same here. I got great green onion tops, but very little bulbs when they were ready to pull. I used their sets a couple years ago and got real nice red and yellow onions, along with all the green onion tops I could use and then some.
I was giving them away to family, friends and neighbors.

Have to plant slips or from seed to get the bulb. The sets are for tops.

Some nice photos of y'alls fall gardens. I'm a bit behind with my garlic, carrots, beets, lettuce and spinach.
Most of my fall plantings are tomatoes, simply to keep the tomato sandwich thing going. I lost most of my fall seedlings to the heat this summer. A few made it, and l planted them along with some sto-bought plants (plus about 6 holdover plants that held on through the summer.)
Plants look great, several 4 -5 feet tall. Zero fruits. This late summer's heat was a killer. First time that my jalapenos gave in to the heat. Superhots are loving it, though, as always.
