Police: 5 suspected of stealing 9.5 tons of garlic
 
 Jun 27, 10:25 AM (ET)


VIENNA (AP) - Austrian police did not need sniffing dogs to locate this suspected heist - 9.5 tons of garlic.

The Austria Press Agency says police stopped three overloaded and sagging vans about to cross into Hungary from Austria on Wednesday and found them packed to the roof with the pungent cargo. After questioning the five men in the vehicles they charged them on suspicion of receiving stolen goods.

Police say the garlic apparently came from Spain and estimate its value at (EURO)30,000 ($37,500). The men - all Romanian nationals - were not named, in line with Austrian privacy laws.

APA cites one officer as saying it was clear what the vans were carrying even before their doors were opened.

"All three vehicles really stunk like garlic," he says.

Those look almost like the ones we usually buy and that I sometimes use as an antibiotic.

The last time I did it was so strong that I almost wasn't able to eat it (I eat it raw), as as soon as it touched my mouth it was almost as if I was eating acid.

But it worked, two days later the infection (in a tooth) was gone. ;D

My crops:

1. Old
2. Anticipation

With one small corner on a floor in a suburban apartment complex to (more or less) call My own, with prospects of moving elsewhere and helping out, I find these two crops to grow marvelously well.

cacti   ;D

I had planted tomatoes, corn, bell peppers, pole beans, potatoes...the staples; everything is crisp and brown now.  I don't have much room for a full garden but that, with canning, would have carried us through nicely. No rain, no nourishment, too much sun & heat.

i can't help but think of the cayce material that i read way back when
about the weather preventing food to be grown...
i started into garden  also way back to prevent it from happening to me
but it is happening

we won't have any fruit locally because of the weather and not it is so hot
if we wouldn't have moved the garden to beside the house we wouldn't have been able to water it
but even with that  it's not going well

my compost pile always grows stuff
this is yesterday morning at 8:41 am







and last evening at 8:45 pm..12 hours and it wasn't that hot yesterday
we are heading into the 90's for the next week






those are all volunteer plant btw..

I need to make a trip up to Boulder some day soon.  There's a lady up there who runs a garlic shop. Apparently garlic is one of those things that does well along the front range.  I have plenty of space for it.  I'll put it wher other things fear to tread.  Or grow.

Shasta
i have order garlic twice in the last five years and i hafta say none of it met with my approval
i think they have played with it too much

soooooo
if you have an old farmer selling garlic and you ask him what kind it is
and he says..hell, i don't know, i've grow the same thing forever
that's the one you want

The woman in Boulder does nothing but garlic.  She sells what she grows in this climate.  Farmers markets around here have become overly commercial.  They're not selling local produce, ss much as trying to make money off people who think "farmers market" is some kind of holy grail.
