    First morning in the 20's, pellet stove, cup of coffee and my news show is very comfy this morning. Cash Larue we've been running in the 60's and 70's recently, love it!

    Start of a birch and poplar fire in the stove which felt good yesterday afternoon after a day of planting garlic, trail clearing, shooting a few grouse, and a little wood splitting and stacking from a couple downed black ash and poplar.

    Been pretty cool here too! Might snow on Thursday. Need to put my plow back on the ATV. I love this time of year.

    What does the top lever on your stove do? Also, how does garlic grow in frozen ground?

    I’m not sure that that means and Google tells me it’s a Muslim boy’s name? :binoculars:

    the top lever on the stove is the air control…all the way left is open.

    Garlic is planted around here any time after the first week of October. Prior to freeze up here there will be enough time for the cloves to start rooting. The shoots of the new garlic plant are the first things to emerge from the ground in April. It is a very reliable crop for us, which allows us to have garlic for the year, and plenty to give away a lot to our families and friends. Between the garden up on our property north of here, and home we put in about 300 of the biggest cloves saved from the harvest in July.

    Don't you spread mulch (straw, whatever) on top of the garlic area in addition?

    Yes. I cover the garlic beds with leaves for a mulch.

    hovlandhomestead Does that really help keep the home warm with the rocks on the stove? If it does, I may give it a try.

    In the morning after an overnight fire, the rock on the stove and the rock mass on the wall is still warm to the touch. Behind the rocks on the wall is a poured 4 inch by 8 foot tall concrete slab. It takes a full day to heat up in the winter, but is an effective heat sink.
