Harvesting Garlic

Garlic harvesting has been a huge success.
However timing is key. The earlier ones I planted (April) were fully mature and ready to harvest before the October rains.
The others planted later (June) needed to be harvested as soon as the rains came to avoid them rotting, and they weren't as well developed.
Also planting in a raised bed produces a better result than directly in the ground.

Planting Summer Veggies

In the last month I've planted the following:
- Okra. Direct from seed and also in seedling pots. Both are fine
- Malabar spinach. Direct, but no luck so far
- Kang Kong, both direct and in seedling pots. Both are fine.
- Cucumber (in the ground and doing well, from seedlings planted into the ground about a month ago)
- Zucchini - already huge and producing fruit. The key, I think, is to get these in as early as possible so you get a decent crop before the humidity sets in. These were probably started from seed at the end of August or early September and put into the ground late September.
- capsicum. Tricky to germinate, and needs warm temps. One is a decent size and in the ground, the rest are still tiny.
- Egglplant (from bought seedlings)
- Yacon (from tubers saved from the previous year)
- Bitter melon (from seed to seedling to bed)
- Rock melon (from bought seedlings)
- Moringa (from seed to seedling to raised mound)
- Pigeon pea (from seed to seedling to bed/ground)
- Shiso - broadcast the seed. Seems Vietnamese shiso doing the best so far.
