I have never tried garlic. I would think now is too hot but I see some people are putting theirs in the ground in zone 9. I am in 9b and was planning to put some down in November, I was going to put them in the fridge until then. What should I be doing. Mine is scheduled to ship the week of 9/12.

I've had good success with beets over the years. Just know that the little ball that you plant in the ground is a small cluster of seeds and you will have more than one sprout from that single round pellet.
They can be thinned but you have to do so gently. Let them get about 3 inches tall and separate them and transplant the tiny plants giving them enough space all around to grow and mature.

Does anyone know what this is?
Found it in the yard today, and I have no idea.
It’s a little larger than a walnut.

Thanks Grand.
There is a passion flower plant growing on the very back of our property but I have never seen any fruit growing on it.

drought is getting critical here at the ranch. Had to drag hoses over 6 acres to water young trees and beds. My azealeas look terrible
I might have waited too long on the plum and persimmon seedlings from the winter they are pretty crispy

Sounds like you need some large water tanks to fill and make the rounds.
Assuming you have a large enough lawn tractor and trailer to tow it or at least a pickup to reach the trees and beds with the container in the bed of the truck.
I would think a couple 55 gal. drums with spigots near the bottom filled with water would be better than dragging hose over 6 acres of land.

yeah I need to get some totes and a pump. This drought situation every summer is getting worse I’ll need to do something

Well by some miracle my pumpkins have survived the vine borer onslaught and it looks like there’s still hope.
Also have a couple of blue hubbards growing
Picked the last two watermelons that were left on the vine last night.
I pulled the watermelon vines and will clean up that box. I think I’m going to start the beets in them this weekend. Also I will probably go ahead and transplant my cabbage seedlings. Looks like the temps will be pulling back some next week.

I have, in the past put in garlic in early October in a raised bed. It will grow well and being in N.O. they really don't get cold enough to die back like it would in other climates. It will take off again in the early spring, put out "scapes" and I will harvest them to use in cooking.
Then the foliage will die back and it is usually early to mid summer when I pull them out the ground. Once out the ground I'll brush as much dirt off the heads as I can and then set them on a steel grate I have on the ground floor under my back porch to dry out.

a full plastic grocery bag of fresh okra down to a ziploc. Tastes incredible

Do you season them? I haven’t tried okra in the freeze dryer yet.
