Garlic, Finally

We've had several days of really nasty weather -- lots of rain and wind.  But today there was a brief break, even with some sun, so I got a few things done.

I finally got my garlic planted in one of the raised beds.  It's not the ideal place, but because my new beds are not ready yet I had to put them somewhere.

We also cut a lot of long branches off the cotoneaster in the front yard.  It is so loaded with berries that the branches are all touching the ground, as well as blocking our front window.  So we cut it way back with our amazing little $30 electric chain saw.  It's still hanging in there.
