You know how you hear people delicately aghast that the target of their gossip would use sprouted garlic? I always used sprouted garlic, but I think I'm concluding it really does taste worse.

Phenology:
Snowdrops are wrapping up.
Walking-stick kale is starting to flower, about a year old.
Roses are belatedly pruned.
Plum is flowering.
Cydonia floret.

Oh by the way, you can stick a toothpick through a garlic clove and sprout on a jar it like a sweet potato, totally. Tons of roots; I wonder if those are tasty like garlicky mung sprouts?

I didn't think I cared what my weight was, but from my reaction to being surprised at a change in the number, I was overestimating my not-caring.

Are there predatory insects that it would be a workable idea to release in the house?

I'm not sure I even know what sprouted garlic is (you mean, some people throw it away if it sprouts a little in the fridge?). I am happy to spread gossip about your garlicky ways though if that would please you.

I've never heard of keeping garlic in the fridge, should I gossip about that? If it were tomatoes I would gossip the heck out if it.
