Garlic

This is the first time I've tried growing my own garlic. Cloves were planted back in the fall (see blogpost from November 2, 2014). The crop has grown beautifully over the winter with no extra attention.

Now to learn more about harvesting garlic. When the leaves go yellow it's about time, but don't allow too many of the leaves to turn brown! The bulb will be over-mature and the cloves will begin to separate from each other, resulting in decreased shelf life.

Margaret, at A Way to Garden tells all about it.
