Harvest your garlic when the lower leaves brown but 5–6 green ones remain 🌱 Gently lift bulbs, cure in a dry airy spot for 2–3 weeks. 💡Tip: plant in autumn for strong roots before winter. 🌿Permaculture win: interplant with leafy greens to maximise space & deter pests naturally! #GarlicHarvest

Garlic harvest day #garlicharvest
Got a bit tired of social media, so I have not been around for awhile. Not tired of gardering, however and luckily! Now the garlic and shallots are harvested 🥰

Greetings, five months later. We just busted up the seed heads from this year’s harvest.

I’m just blown away by the Chesnok Red. It vastly out performed. Such an insane producer, with GIANT cloves. It’s also beautiful. I’m in love. 🥰

This was our last year for soft neck just a lot of disappointment across many varieties.

Also: 24-25 might be our last year for the music hard neck. Not impressed.

OK so here’s my unscientific #garlicharvest recap: Here in the KC’ burbs #zone6B (formally #zone6A) we can grow hard neck and soft neck. Most years I’m disappointed in the softs, this year too. Can’t recommend any.

As far as hard: Music (from Baker Creek) was my least impressive. It’s our 3rd year with it. Each year I have fewer seed quality (large) heads. I’ll try again once more, but not holding my breath.

German Hardneck and Chesnok Red, both from KC Community Gardens were OUTSTANDING. Super impressed.

I just harvested my garlic. I'm a little worried that I left them in the ground a bit too long, and we got a bunch of rain recently so they came out pretty wet. I got them cleaned and hanging up to dry.

Recently harvested garlic bulbs hung up to “cure” outdoors under a roof, therefore dry with excellent ventilation. Grown (see previous post) and cured this way, the garlic bulbs will last until very nearly next year’s harvest.

Garlic time! We’re a little late this year and unfortunately we got to the scapes late as well. Bulb size really suffered on the hard necks ☹️.

Past few years we have grown three types. Two soft neck varieties Inchelium Red and Kay's Backyard. Plus one hardneck variety called Music.

This year the Inchelium Red far outperformed the others. Kay‘s did OK and the music was a dud. Mostly our fault.
