Garlic Harvest
I planted a dozen or so garlic cloves back in November. I haven't been keeping a very good garden journal, so I don't know exactly how long they've been in the ground. The past week half of the stalks started to brown and wilt. From what I've read, that means it's harvest time.
I sucessfully pulled out 11 bulbs of garlic. They were very aromatic. They look a little on the small side, but other than that look and smell ideal. They were extremly easy to grow. They were right up against my shed all winter and got the runoff from the roof. That and they were heavily mulched with leaves, so no weeding and no watering made them very easy to take care of.
I did an amature garlic braid and this is how they now appear in my kitchen.
