Garlic Harvest

Harvested the garlic yesterday. What a heavenly smell wafting up off those plants as I spread them out on the ground to begin the drying process! Later, I tied them up in bundles to hang in the shed until dry and cured. The goal is to fully dry the papery wrappers while retaining the moisture and oils of the bulbs, a process that will take about two weeks. We've got a rainy week coming up... not the most ideal drying situation. I may have to bring them indoors, to a less humid environment.
