1.10 Mystery of garlic's sterility solved


Now there's a headline for my gardening column! And to think that we never really knew that garlic felt so badly about its sterility it had to have an entire team of researchers solve it.

Does this mean we'll have a bunch of little garlics running around the halls any day now? I mean, how would you put a diaper on a garlic bud? Or do you have to - with those filmy wrappers they all seem to come in?

Has anybody warned the lady garlics that the guys are now "solved"? This could be big news around the health food counter.

And finally, was it a mystery to us or to the garlic? After all, sometimes if you've been eating garlic people won't want to talk to you and tell you important things.

Ah well, a beautiful day here in Eastern Ontario and I'm stuck in the office instead of roaming the roads and putting the sails up on the boat. But now, with this mystery solved I will at least sleep soundly tonight.
