Healthy Garlic in Yambol

 

With warm weather and sporadic rain in Yambol recently it is no wonder this patch of garlic looks so healthy.

The First Sign of Winter Garlic in Yambol

 Garlic bulbs have been sown in many gardens in Yambol, here is the first sign of sprouting. I was told it took only 4 days for this one to show its shoot!

Garlic Growing Seen in Yambol

There are no vampires in Yambol. One of the reasons may be because thousands of people grow garlic in their garden. This garlic patch is one of many I see in Yambol every day.

Hanging Onion and Garlic Galore in Yambol

In a year where the garden produce isn't very productive due to an early wet summer, you will find that prior to that the onions and garlic were more successful. Hence you will find many households with hanging onions and garlic in Yambol, usually in a garage or basement room. These seen were spotted in a garage that I spotted as it was open. 

Garlic Found Laid Out in a Yambol Garden

Even in the centre of Yambol food is produced in gardens. A grand bunch of garlic crops was seen laying out to dry in one of those typical food-producing gardens I passed today

Vegetables For Sale On The Side

Passing by a small Yambol secondhand clothes shop it is common that alongside their main goods are vegetables for sale which have been picked from their gardens. This example here is of fresh garlic on the gas meter and onions leaning on the side. So you can buy a jacket, garlic and onion and save yourself a trip to the bazaar. There are also daffodils for sale by the side of the chair, but it looks like they have almost been all sold out of those.
