It feels good to actually pull something out of the ground! We've been so damn busy and have nothing to bring inside to show for it. If we stand at the window though, we are reminded "oh yeah, that's why I hurt all over!"
Garlic was harvested Thursday June 25th in the evening. From what I read garlic doesn't like to be in direct sunlight so we ended up starting the harvest around 7 PM
This was our temporary solution before we devised the hanging system. Garlic needs lots of air flow in order to "cure" correctly. So, we placed them on screens while we figured out what the heck to do. We ended up bundling them in 8-10 making sure they had plenty of room around each bulb and hanging them with string on a wire rack set up on the front porch. (first picture)
I don't have the official tally since (honestly) I forgot. But they seem pretty good. For previous garlic posts about how we planted and what we grew click planting and spring tally.
Your garlic crop is fabulous! I planted some this spring only because they were sprouting in the kitchen. Let's see...you planted last fall like you're supposed to do and harvested end of June, maybe there will be something for me to harvest in Sept or Oct after all.
