Welcome back! Here is a photo recount of my garlic harvest today. Enjoy!
The garlic, earlier today. Having never grown garlic, i decided better to pull it a little too early than too late. The weather had been dry so i went for it!
I grew two varieties of hardneck, of which German Extra Hardy grew larger and had a greater yeild while the Broadleaf Czech had slightly smaller, but still health bulbs and a few more instances of stunted plants. I also grew a variety of softneck of which most plants completely failed and those that did survive have small, undeveloped bulbs.
Once rinsed of large piece of dirt i dried then spread the bulbs with greens and roots still attached on racks in a back storage room. This room stays warm, dry, and dark. I installed a fan to keep the air moving around the garlic and plan to turn the bulbs a few times a week to make sure they are curing evenly.
The cucumbers are still coming, tomatoes are in full swing and soon we'll have three types of peppers, rainbow chard, sweet basil, and cilantro ready!
Grow on,
Tyler
