I shall have to add to my reading list. My grandfather was in Italy during the war with the IV PLDG (Reconnaissance) Battalion.

We planted our garlic around the same time that you did. Next year we will once again start with garlic scape pesto.

Grackles are one of my favourite birds. We just let them feed along with the cardinals, blue jays, chickadees, squirrels, chipmunks and all the other critters.
